I told Jim about it, and he took me out in the garage and said this almost never happens -- showed me someone's Keith that shattered while tumbling.  So I decided that was an omen and left it as is.

Found this in an antique collective in Los Gatos many moons ago, box on the floor of "junk bottles", this one was $4. That's the kind of deal you just don't find anymore around these parts...again no mention of San Francisco in the embossed lettering:  North Beach Drug Store/Citrate Magnesia/D.W.
