    Bromomania!

    Ah the lowly bromo, a little color for a winter's day. The smallest or 2 + 1/2 inch ones have the biggest range of colors. These four inch (ones with the aqua) and five inch also come naturally, but rarely, in colors other than cobalt. None of these are irradiated. I put the amber EMERSON'S...

    Bromomania try again

    [attachment=bromo5.jpg] Must have been a bad day for this mold cutter! Instead of putting an I in BALTIMORE he started to cut an H or cut an H and then must have realized the mistake and tied it into the M. Any one have a bottle with combo letters like this?

    Cobalt chunky!

    These things complete go for $100 on ebay but for $10.50 I recently picked up the base only, I think I could fabricate the rest if I wanted to but I think I'll just use it on the dresser for my keys and change. I was surprized how heavy it is. [attachment=bromo2.jpg]

    Italian bromo?

    This may be my first Italian bottle, not so much a sodium bromide, probably more of a citrate of magnezia looks like they still sell it today. I bought it more for it's bromo form and being a monster 9 inches tall!

    New additions to the distinguished Bromo collection!!!

    Three new additions to my bromo (yes, you read it right!) bromo collection! You have probably seen Red Dragon seltzers but considering the cobalt Emerson's is five inches tall, have you ever seen one a whopping nine and a quarter inches. It's the largest bromoesque bottle in my collection...

    Mystery in the woods...

    I came across this last winter but have been hesitant to put it on the computer because I wasn't sure what to do with it and want to protect the site and only yesterday went back with a rake and unburied it so I could get a decent picture. Once its "out there" its out there forever but I would...
