Featured Collector: Ralph Van Brocklin

While attending the Waynesville NC show this year, I was invited to visit the collection of Ralph Van Brocklin in nearby Johnson City TN. And what a collection he has! And Ralph is all too happy to show it. His enthusiasm for bottle collecting is infectious, and he's done a lot to improve the hobby as past president of the FOHBC.

The tour started with a visit at Ralph's dental office. It's simply breath-taking to walk into his office and be overwhelmed in the presence of so many fantastic bottles. You'll quickly see that his passion is Western glass, especially whiskey flasks and mini-jugs. But he's also started adding Southern pieces, especially Tennessee.

Ralph has been collecting for over 35 years. He started digging as a kid in Salinas, California. His earliest collecting focused on western beer bottles, but quickly advanced to the whiskies.

To see all the pictures taken, click here.

Ralph in his office beside the back-lighted shelf with his most impressive bottles. What a place to work!
Another shelf with amazing western fifths, bitters, and mini-jugs. Shown are all four Casper fifths, including the hard to find 4 cities variants.

Amber and olive Western whiskey flasks are a passion of Ralph's, especially this wild two-tone, swirled NANSCAWEN & Co. / VISALIA flask.
In his home office, Ralph keeps this impressive collection of Western beers, sodas, and mini-jugs.

His favorite is this DUFFY'S CRESCENT SALOON / LOUISVILLE figural pig, which is unique in cobalt blue.

Star NC Bottling Works

As a bottle dealer, one of the most gratifying things you can do is provide a bottle to a relative of the bottle company. That happened recently when Reggie sold a pair of hutches from Star Bottling Works in Star NC to J.G. Maynard. Below info was provided by J.G.:

My great great grandfather was J.R. Ingrahm, who ran the bottling works in Star from 1904 until it was bought out by the Coca-Cola Bottling Company. There are not many papers or pictures from the place left. J.R. Ingrahm was the druggist in Star from 1902 until he retired sometime in 1909-1910, and I think that is how he got into the bottling business. The Bottling Works was located in the back of the white building behind the railroad tracks. Before he sold it, JR Ingrahm ran it as the Star Mercantile Company and Star Pharmacy. They sold and printed custom stationary, and they also sold soaps and perfumes imported from overseas. Of course, they also sold medicine. The small room on the right is where the drug store was. This building burned down, and later in 1912 Coca-Cola built on the same location. I don't know whether or not JR Ingrahm bottled Coke himself. This picture was made around 1911, and the white house on the left with the steep gables was built by JR Ingrahm. I remember my great grandma talking about a lawsuit or something of the like dealing with the stoppers they used at the Bottling Works. If I remember right, they contained lead or some other dangerous substance that dissolved into the contents of the bottles. That is about all the information that I know of. I am attaching 2 files that I think are relevant: the picture as described above and an old invoice from the drug store.

If you have any info to share about the company, please contact J.G. Maynard at PO Box 182, Ether, NC 27247.

New FOHBC Club Benefit: Cheap Show Insurance

The FOHBC recently provided a new inexpensive insurance benefit for its member clubs. For $150 per year, a member club can buy into their group policy which will cover their show and other club activities. The group policy covers up to $1,000,000 per occurence. The low $150 rate should offer considerable savings to clubs that have to insure their annual shows. For more information, contact Sheldon Baugh, Email: shel6943@bellsouth.net, phone (270) 726-2712.

Show Reports

This section provides reports on any recent shows, auctions, or other events where bottles were sold. If you are going to a bottle show that Reggie plans to attend, please bring your show & tell bottles so he can photograph them and publish in this newsletter. If you attend a show in the Southeast and want your pictures/story published here, then just submit your info.

Gray TN Show May 6-7, 2005

Reggie made his first trip to this bottle show nestled in the TN mountains and was rewarded with great hospitality and a fine bottle show. This was their biggest show yet with 69 dealer tables, 6 displays, and 26 early buyers. A nice advantage for dealers is the ability to drive into the building and unload in front of your table. On the first day of this two day show, dealers and early buyers were treated to a sumptuous meal with grilled chicken, hamburgers, and all the fixings. Ralph Van Brocklin kindly donated the chicken and hamburgers, and did a great job of cooking the chicken. Geff Moore pitched in by cooking the hamburgers. Other club members provided the other dishes, including a neat hillbilly cake.

On Saturday, there was a good general attendance due in part to the effective advertising, including radio interviews. Some interesting bottles were brought in by the public, including an early Jack Daniel's "Gunter" flask that was bought by one of the dealers. Hope to see ya' at next year's show.

Below are some pictures from the show. To see all the pictures taken, click here.

Geff Moore did a great job cooking the burgers for the Friday night dinner.
Doug and Ginny Bowers did collectors a service by showing this pair of White House Vinegar Lighthouse bottles with a letter explaining how to identify the repro on the left. The easiest way to tell the difference is the bases, since the original base has a mold number and is concave, whereas the repro has no mold number, is flat, and has no ring.

Melissa Milner did a fantastic display on fruit jars that had a lot of eye appeal.
Ralph's table had some great offerrings and drew a lot of attention.

Fred Milner (left) running the admission table where they had free bottles for kids, raffle bottle prizes for attendees, and a $25 dealer door prize.
The club made a special hillbilly cake to celebrate the show.

Lumberton NC Show June 3-4, 2005

The annual Lumberton show was another sell-out, with all 80+ dealer tables sold. And there was a good buying crowd as well. The dealer dinner Friday night was very enjoyable, with show chairman Paul Valenti cooking his rice/chicken and rice/sausage dishes. On a sad note, there was a table with pictures and rememberings of Vernon Capps and Richard Stephens, who both died recently and were big contributors to the Lumberton show.

Below are some pictures from the show by David Jackson (Reggie forgot his camera). To see all the pictures taken, click here.

Mason Bright and his wife made the trip down from Michigan to setup at the show and visit relatives.

Ralph in his office beside the back-lighted shelf with his most impressive bottles. What a place to work!	Another shelf with amazing western fifths, bitters, and mini-jugs. Shown are all four Casper fifths, including the hard to find 4 cities variants.
Amber and olive Western whiskey flasks are a passion of Ralph's, especially this wild two-tone, swirled NANSCAWEN & Co. / VISALIA flask.	In his home office, Ralph keeps this impressive collection of Western beers, sodas, and mini-jugs.

Geff Moore did a great job cooking the burgers for the Friday night dinner.	Doug and Ginny Bowers did collectors a service by showing this pair of White House Vinegar Lighthouse bottles with a letter explaining how to identify the repro on the left. The easiest way to tell the difference is the bases, since the original base has a mold number and is concave, whereas the repro has no mold number, is flat, and has no ring.
Melissa Milner did a fantastic display on fruit jars that had a lot of eye appeal.	Ralph's table had some great offerrings and drew a lot of attention.
Fred Milner (left) running the admission table where they had free bottles for kids, raffle bottle prizes for attendees, and a $25 dealer door prize.	The club made a special hillbilly cake to celebrate the show.

Mason Bright and his wife made the trip down from Michigan to setup at the show and visit relatives.	Corky Shore and Marshall McMasters checking out a bottle.
Some buyer's viewing the bottles for sale at Reggie's Southeast Table.	Doug Williams and Jake Hudson checking out some bottles at Paul Valenti's table.
