I really like the Fat Baby and amber cylinder. They are all so damn cute though. Do you think the glass spoon was used for snuff (or other)? Send it to the lab. _____________________________ 'Meech' Our websites: http://members.aol.com/meechuta/bottles.html Member of FOHBC - RABCA - APBCA Editor of 'The Digger' in full color!
