On Sunday 10 February, the sounds of clinking bottles and gasps of surprise
came from the fourth annual Historic Bottle Evaluation at Drysdale’s old
courthouse.

The Bellarine Historical Society and ABCR
Auctions had invited people to bring in any old bottles for experienced glass
valuers David Bruce and Travis Dunne to appraise and value. This free event was
part of the 2019 Festival of Glass and attracted around fifty hopeful locals.
David Bruce said, “We always look forward
to this event, because in the past, people have brought in some real treasures. This year's standout item was a Black Horse Ale bottle, produced around 1860 by the Kent Brewery in Sydney and today worth between $600 - $700."
