Top Saratoga “Wanted” List Update

27 August 2015

A couple of weeks before the FOHBC 2015 Chattanooga National, I received a simple e-mail from Neil Moore from Milford, Delaware that is represented below.

Good morning,

I read your comments regarding the “Union Spring” that recently sold at auction for 6K and your thoughts about the original Saratoga “Wanted” List. Attached find Bernie Puckhaber’s Saratoga “Wanted” list dated 1973, and my “preferred” list for 2015. Enjoy and see you in Chattanooga.

Read: The Union Spring Bottle

Neil brought these great bottles to Chattanooga and I carved out a space on my table for him to display. Quite an impressive group of mineral water bottles.
