The South West Bottle and Collectables Club boasts members from across the region and its annual show attracts enthusiasts from across the state.
Club member Bruce Lowenthal said there would be plenty of items on display, as well as a chance to buy and swap items.
“We try to encourage collecting and encourage younger people to take up collecting and we do have some younger members.”
This year’s show will also include a big display of dairy items, from old butter churns to rare cream cans.
“We also have a good range of old perfume bottles and powder compacts from the ’30s, ’40s and ’50s, which are hard to get in good condition,” Mr Lowenthal said.
There will also be displays of old tools and toys, making the show a crowd-pleaser for all ages. The show will be held at the Wannon Rooms, Warrnambool Showgrounds, Saturday and Sunday.
