HOA 34 in.

Property from the Collection of Dr. & Mrs. Gimesh, Fayetteville, NC

Coloring the water of a show globe, and placing it in an obvious location, gave a customer visual identification of the presence of a druggist that could be relied on to
provide skilled services.

Interior scrape marks where the stoppers fit; middle stopper with bottom chip; some traces of color remain.
