early glass black glass seals and shaft and globes!!

Well, everyone else is doing it -"blogging", twittering, and all the rest of this modern day techno speak gibberish, and sitting there with their faces and fingers stuck to mobile phones and other little black beeping boxes, gradually losing their ability to actually SPEAK to living human beings....
....but even as a grumpy old man, I do acknowledge this is the sort of  trendy effort you have to do these days, and who knows I might even end up getting addicted like everyone else...

Now, if you don't know me or of me, you obviously haven't been collecting early glass bottles very long...or else you've been doing it on the very peripherals of the general bottle collecting community, the shows, the magazines, the forums etc etc. So unless you want to miss out on what's available in the early glass world and for what price you'd do well to start by looking at the website  http://www.earlyglass.com/   my website that has over a thousand assorted and various items of freeblown, pontilled, sealed and generally early glass bottles and related items. We'll cover the terminology later...

Of course all of this blog (today and forever after) will be a totally unambiguous plug for my website and for collecting earlyglass generally, but hopefully I will in any case be preaching to the converted, but if not I'll aim to convert the uninitiated in as totally a painless way as possible, so don't worry too much guys. Earlyglass addicts are fairly happy people and aren't so often made nerdy fun of, more usually they are envied by other bottle collectors.....(you'll appreciate I've already started the hype!) who for some reason think they can't "afford" to collect earlyglass where your average attractive freeblown onion full of history with an international market costs £400-£500, yet they'll all spend the same amount on some local "super rare" ginger beer that happens to be plain dull and boring and wouldn't be worth £5 outside the locality...

But then I'm biased.....

"Onion"? some of you'll be saying, "what sort of vegetables are worth that sort of money!!...I want some of this!"...
Ok, watch this blog to find out what other vegtables are worth phenomenal prices!!!........
(and some pics of these incredible alliums also.....)
