Chuck Gildea wins an Oster Toaster!
02 June 2015
California guys, Scott Yeargain (red shirt) and Chuck Gildea (flowered shirt) at a recent toaster convention? nah, FOHBC Auction in Lexington last year.
You never know what to expect from Jeff Wichmann with American Bottle Auctions. I was sitting in a meeting yesterday and peeked at my phone and saw a link to Jeff’s ABA newsletter. If you have not been following, Jeff has been graciously awarding $500 to a lucky ABA patron each month to spend at his Bottle Store. Well Jeff upped the rewards yesterday and took our hobby to a new level with an Oster Toaster prize! I thought I would share a few images from his newsletter in case you did not get or it was hung up in spam filters. Oh, Chuck….congrats! Maybe you can bring it to Chattanooga and we can break bread.
