Genesee Valley Bottle Collectors Association

In 2023, we had another successful Show & Sale and as always, we had a great line up of displays to WOW the senses.  Each exhibitor puts much time and effort to prepare their display.  GVBCA thanks each one for their effort.  There were 10 displays altogether.

Vince Martonis of Gerry, NY won the Burton Spiller BEST OF SHOW AWARD and the PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD for his detailed and extensive "Dr. Pettit's American Eye Salve Co. of Fredonia, NY" display.  The PEOPLE'S CHOICE award is decided by voting from the attendees at our sale.  Vince takes great pride in putting together his display with many objects all of which touched upon local and national history.

MOST EDUCATIONAL AWARD was won by Preston Pierce of Canandaigua, NY for his display entitled, "White Springs Farm & Geneva Milk Co."  The history and photos presented were excellent and easy to view.

Congratulations and THANK YOU to all our exhibitors for sharing your collections!!  See the pictures below of all the wonderful displays!  We will do it again next year with another great line up of displays.
