Jerry and Helen Forbes
My BBB (Best Bottle Friend) Jerry Forbes (Carmel, California) flooded my inbox this afternoon with some simply outstanding pictures of his latest bottle additions from the Baltimore Bottle Show. Read: Balto 2013 – Crab Cakes, Bottles and my Mother – Part 1. Jerry has the uncanny, innate ability to leave every bottle show with outstanding examples for his collection and resale. It is nice today to see some of these jewels in his windows. Quite spectacular. In many cases he takes his booty and sets them up in his hotel room window or inside of a room refrigerator if no light is available. Like a warrior or hunter posing with his conquests. GREAT friends, Jerry & Helen Forbes.

Jerry & Helen Forbes Collection
I always enjoy seeing Jerry at our western shows because he always brings new items from the East Coast shows that he attends. It’s always a fun time with show and tell! What a wonderful opportunity to see his collection on display at home.
Sure would like to see you at the Manchester National Warren. Would be fun to look at the DNA of bottles that travelled west.
