I thought the photo was great too....I didn't take it, as it is from the sellers offering online.

When I contacted him, for background, (I like to have that if I sell a piece to include with it)... he told me he and his wife are retired graphic artists. So he has experience with design etc so the photo reflects that. The bottles themselves are really precious. He sent me a teeny tiny one for free with them that is small enough for a doll house! I think it either was a salesman's sample or made for a spectrophotometer machine of some type. It even has a teeny tiny ground glass stopper (perhaps to prevent volatiles from escaping during examination.) It is about 1in high and almost needs tweezers to lift the top off!

I used to work with a Beckman ratio recording photometer, but it had quartz square cells, not round glass. ( I worked to put myself thru college for 4 yrs...in the medicinal chemistry department)

This is it:

Back in 1968 it was state of the art. I have a paper I helped write and collect the data published, it you are interested I can send you that link in PM, Lara?
