I took a large cash hit at the Elkhart National this year, handing out $50 to three collectors who surprise me with California glass, examples of which I have never seen before. The winners were Mike Kirby of Michigan, Jeff Hogan from Florida, and Tom Katonak from New Mexico.

Still in the game and continuing my California Surprise Contest at Springfield this year. The rules are simple. You show me a California glass insulator product or go with in person, an example of which I have never seen before and you collect $10 in cash from me without any requirement that you sell or trade me the subject item. This year I will be trying to give away my cash prizes at Rick Solller's table. Look me up.
