Mike Newman Bottles – Upstairs Sodas

04 August 2011

I am in Augusta, Georgia for three days of business and was able to sneak away yesterday evening to see the fantastic bottle collection of Mike Newman from Martinez, Georgia. This is an important collection of a wide variety of the best of Georgia and South, Carolina pottery and soda bottles. Mike also has a remarkable collection of inks, flasks and bitters bottles. The presentation and lighting is museum quality. I will post in three (3) listings. This is Post 3, Upstairs Sodas…WOW!
