Folly-Larking with Nirvana 5 May 2021

Well spotted Nirvana!  When "folly-larking" with me yesterday, Nirvana spotted a beautiful blue shard.  It had the words CHAS.    "......  CHEMI ........." embossed on it.


                                                        Blue shard spotted by Nirvana Sookdev, 5 May 2021


Well of course I did some research.  The blue shard is from a Chas Phillips Milk of Magnesia Cobalt Blue Glass Bottle, Circa, 1930's - late 1950's (I think), The Chas. H. Phillips Chemical Co. Glenbrook Conn.  Made in the USA.
