INFORMATION

FOHBC.org

W E LCO ME We welcome antique bottle and glass enthusiasts and collectors to the great State of Texas for the FOHBC Houston 2024 National Antique Bottle & Glass Exposition or Houston 24 for short. After a successful Reno 2022 Convention, the FOHBC took the year off in 2023 to plan for a different experience in 2024. If you like history, great antique bottles and glass, museums, and nature, we certainly have the place for you as our event is being hosted and graciously underwritten by the Houston Museum of Natural Science (HMNS). Our historic host Hotel ZaZa is across the boulevard, and both are located within Hermann Park in the Houston Museum District. Our venues are both located on the Houston light rail line that connects downtown Houston and the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical center in the world. Here you will find every moment full of excitement, options, and wonderful things to do. Make your plans now and be a part of the greatest antique bottle and glass event in a generation. I am particularly interested in reuniting the three cobalt blue bitters as the Sazerac Aromatic Bitters lady’s leg will be joining the Fuss collection’s Old Homestead Bitters and Fish Bitters in a prominent display in the exhibition. Thanks to our underwriters and partners noted above, Peachridge Collections, Team Houston 24 and the FOHBC Board of Directors for making this happen!

THE HO USTON MUSEUM OF N AT U R A L SC I E NC E The Houston Museum of Natural Science (HMNS) was founded in 1909 on the idea that science can enhance everyone’s lives. They continue to pursue their mission in every project, program and exhibition.

In fact, over half a million school children visit on field trips every year, including every fourth and seventh grade class in the Houston Independent School District. As one of the most heavily attended museums in the United States, and a favorite thing to do in Houston, HMNS at Hermann Park has five floors of permanent exhibits spanning astronomy, space science, Native American culture, paleontology, energy, chemistry, geology, seashells and Texas wildlife, alongside a slew of rotating special exhibitions.

HMNS also houses three other venues: the Burke Baker Planetarium, Wortham Giant Screen Theatre and Cockrell Butterfly Center. The Museum also maintains two satellite facilities: The George Observatory in Fort Bend County, which houses one of the largest public telescopes in the country; and the Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land, which has exhibits on dinosaurs, physics and a newly opened Hall of Technology.

HE R MANN PA RK Hermann Park is a 445-acre urban park in Houston, Texas, situated at the southern end of the Museum District. The park is located immediately north of the Texas Medical Center and Brays Bayou, east of Rice University, and slightly west of the Third Ward. Hermann Park is home to numerous cultural institutions including the Houston Zoo, Miller Outdoor Theatre, the Houston Museum of Natural Science, and the Hermann Park Golf Course, which became one of the first desegregated public golf courses in the United States in 1954. The park also features the Mary Gibbs and Jesse H. Jones Reflection Pool, numerous gardens, picnic areas, and McGovern Lake, an 8-acre recreational lake.

One of Houston’s oldest public parks, Hermann Park was created on acreage donated to the City of Houston by oilman and philanthropist George H. Hermann (1843– 1914). The land was formerly the site of his sawmill. It was first envisioned as part of a comprehensive urban planning effort by the city of Houston in the early 1910s.

Following the recommendation of a 1913 report which identified the then-rural area between Main Street and Brays Bayou as ideal for a large urban park, real estate investor and entrepreneur George H. Hermann, who owned most of the area and served on the city’s parks board, bequeathed his estate to Houston for use as a public green space in 1914. By 1916, famed landscape architect George Kessler had completed a master plan for the park which was gradually implemented throughout the following decades. Ultimately, Hermann Park and Rice University are two clear expressions of the City Beautiful movement in Houston.

From about 1870 to the mid 20th century, barbers typically filled their own bottles or customers’ bottles with hair tonic, hair oil, bay rum, shampoo and rosewater. Many were personalized with customers’ names on them—something you would not see in other types of bottles. The bottles came in distinctive colors and shapes so the barber could identify what was in each bottle. Many of them were highly decorative.

These bottles were no longer made after the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act made it illegal to refill non-labeled bottles. Event for FOHBC Houston 24 Early Admission and other VIP attendees. Exhibition catalog/book sales and signing. Media access.
