Sunday October 22. Cambridge Show. A light rain didn't spoil the show in Cambridge. So what was there? A great selection of coloured fruit jars, lots of black glass, John Barclay had more of his great bottles for sale: It was nice to see dealers bringing insulators especially threadless. Could have used some more people, but every one had a good time and most where happy. Toronto is one hour away, Hamilton 1/2 hour, Niagara Falls 1 hour, London one hour....must be too far for all you old folks, but wait just wait dealers came from Ottawa 5 to 6 hours, London one hour, Windsor 3 hours, Kent Bridge 3 hours, Bracebridge 4 1/2 hours.....whom dealers can drive that far but collectors who want shows and more shows find it hard to drive an hour....oh well maybe we should all stay at home and just deal on ebay...no need to actually see that sorted citron olive amber puce jar just buy it from a poor photo, or buy the piece that has someone else's opinion of "slight damage" but still mint? No need to meet and greet people, laugh talk tell tales, have good coffee (others comments on my coffee, thanks!) stale donuts and generally have a great day out. Thanks to all the dealers and general public who came and see you all next year. |
