Bent_twig; I started out with old pieces of glass. then some farm home antiques; then old cast iron toys; old banks; old telephone insullatores; old guns; old fishing tackle; then old coffee mills, store items because of an Uncles old general store, then blacksmithing tools because of the old wagon wheel blacksmith shop near my Uncles store. And all the time old bottles and STUFF that interested me. In the Glass World, I have gotten into many types of glass items from large Liquor Store Display bottles, down to little poison bottles; glass floats, fly traps, glass canes, Saratoga bottles, Case Gin bottles - etc etc.
It is a sickness, but I love it. RED Matthews

Red,

You are right it is a sickness, but it is a sickness that make you feel good and not bad. I love it.
