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...

Huge Medicine 32o/z Owens made

Always enjoy digging plain quarts and embossed ones are special finds, love big meds. A large one like that with a 1/4 or 1/2 oz. next to it makes a cool pic. Sometimes they are SCA. Yours should read :Ounce symbol (not a 3) xxxii for 32 ounce
