Latest News
Don't forget BBR Spring Extravaganza
Don't forget BBR's Elsecar Spring Extravaganza this weekend 25th and 26th April.
The Saturday is usually the unreserved auction, ideal for picking up stock and boxes of assorted goodies, but the Sunday is the actual show with stallholders, together with the "Main" auction of higher end desirables. We believe the big main building is still not available so presumably there will be a mix of the adjacent Milton Hall and marquees etc on the Heritage Centre site itself. Obviously the auctions take place in the BBR premises on site although both are usually available online, which makes thing very much easier, especially when you are manning a stall.
ABC can't make it this time but we will be keeping tabs on what's happening and what goes down (and up).
We look forward to when the big building is once again open and we can get back to full on shows. We SHALL be coming to the Summernational however, building available or not and wish Alan and the BBR team all the best in their endeavours ...

We've finally given way to a subscription price rise.... :(
After four major increases in postal costs ABC have finally given way to increasing your subscription rates... sorry guys, we couldn't afford to keep absorbing the added costs both in printing, and particularly in postage. We will be from your next issue, for the 4 issues per year, £29 for UK, £39 for Europe and £49 for overseas. BUT. if you want to save massively (and help us) you can switch over to the new online only version, which is exactly the same, just readable online only, and is just £20 wherever you are!!!!
Existing subscribers who've come to their final issue at #95 will have the opportunity to resub at the old rate, but all new subs from then on will be at the new rate...

About Antique Bottle Collector Magazine
ABC magazine is a quarterly full-colour magazine of 40 + pages. Read about new finds, researched histories, show reports, digging news, bottles wanted and for sale. The aim is to encourage all those who have discovered the 'buzz' of hunting and digging out Edwardian, Victorian, and sometimes earlier bottle dumps. Some of which can be valuable, all of which are fascinating, intrinsically beautiful and important local social history artifacts.
Back issues of ABC Magazine are available from £1 each+post. Go to the Resources/Books section to see some of the more recent issues available.
We are grateful to AAAuctions Ltd for the use in many instances of their excellent photography both in this website and in the printed ABC magazine.
We'd love to hear from you!
