FLBCA: Collecting in the Ithaca and Finger Lakes Area

Calling All Collectors!

We are the Finger Lakes Bottle Collectors Association and we welcome you to our site. This site is under construction,and some functions still don't work. Please check back soon for updates.

Tuesday November 13 is our annual Holiday party. All are welcome, bring a dish to pass and table service. Members Millie and Doug Norton are generously providing turkey and ham. Dinner starts at 6:30PM, a bit earlier than our usual meetings. Email for details about our fun White Elephant Gift exchange!

We welcome new members! See below for more information.

How to Find Us
We meet the second Tuesday of every month except for July and August, in the Veterans Fire Hall, 638 RT. 13-Elmira Rd. Ithaca, NY. MAP

Our Members
We are currently a group of about 50 from all ages and walks of life. Our members live in various areas in Ithaca and central NY.

Despite our name, we do not collect only bottles! Our collections do include milk and other bottles, but our interests range widely, such as antique Valentines, Teddy Roosevelt paraphernalia, cookbooks, scientific equipment, and more. If you have a collection or would like to learn more about the art of collecting, we encourage you to join our club.

2011 Bottle Show
We are celebrating FLBCA's 42nd year in 2011! The 2011 Bottle Show will take place Sunday, Oct.2, 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. There is a $2 Admission fee.

We sponsor 2 FLEA MARKETS each year. Our spring market was on March 13 and the Fall Frost Flea Market will be on November 13, 2011.

All our shows take place at the Dryden Fire Hall on Rt. 13 in Dryden. MAP
