Hello Bruce,

Nice group get, sir. That Vine Pease with the embossed pea pod is a killer! First embossed pea pod, I believe, I've ever seen. Thanks for showing us.

The triskelion motif on that Pohl bottle is awesome. Nice finds!

Hi! I'm not sure how this works, but I am very interested in the HH Cone bottle as he was my great-grandfather, Henry Harrison Cone. He sold his pharmacy when his son, Alexander Cone, went to fight in WWI. He was so worried about his only son. Alexander died in France November 11, 1918. The attached is a picture of HH Cone and his wife, Ella Caskey Cone on the left. My grandmother, Florence Cone Gulliver, is the little girl with the stroller. There's a little history!
