Hi,

I used to dig/collect bottles in the 60s and 70s, got away from the
hobby for quite a few years, but spurred on by PBS's Antiques Roadshow,
have gotten the bottle *bug* again.  Are there any local bottle
collectors out there?  If so, do you have any favorite local antique
shops you could recommend?  I've been out on Route 20 west of Albany,
down the 9W as far as Coxsackie, on Route 7 going down to the cutoff for
Cooperstown, also Route 30 north of Amsterdam.  Any other likely place
to look for bottle *gems*?  Has anyone been to a bottle show?  There was
a handout for one (Mid Hudson Bottle Show) coming up a few weekends from
now in Millbrook off the Taconic Parkway.  Has anyone ever been there
before?

Looking for blob top soda bottles, some old medicines, etc.  I used to
dig but understand some have given that up because of the deer ticks and
Lyme disease.  Any info you can give will be appreciated.
