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 RHUEMATISM CURE in with the five inch as that's the only size it comes in and has a great similar look. No bromos were made in amber but never say never. The five inchers are the largest bromos with color variations, I've never seen the sizes larger than that in anything but cobalt but the possibility exists I guess.[attachment=BROMO2.jpg] [attachment=BROMO.jpg]

Great looking display Steve. My motto is "Never leave a Bromo behind". I know that they are common and etc., but I just love the cobalt color. Never seen the light aqua, almost clear bromo. Enjoyed the display. Buster

Those are some beauties, I never get tired of the oddly colored/embossed bromos. I don't believe I've seen one of those Rheumatic Cures before, it's a cool piece!
