    This isn't glass....but it's just as good!

    No idea why it was there ... clueless in fact. We haven't made it to the fairground yet either. It appears that may take a little more work than we'd hope. Ant

That pic he has of the quart is from Jim Searle's collection and is one of 2 whole ones known, Matt's is the second broken one to be found that I know of.

    Healy Bigelow Kickapoo 1890s newspaper ad!
