<div dir="ltr">Thank you everyone for the help! Glad to see #1 and 2 were identifiable. <div><br></div><div>Colleen, I do think the glass vials are medicinal and I assume would be from around that time period. However there is no needle or thread in the vials. The yellow one has larger chunks of debris, and the clear liquid vile has smaller bits of debris and a detached piece of cylindrical glass on the inside. As they are filled with unknown liquid, and as Barbara said could be dangerous, I think we are going to dispose of them though I would still love to know what they are. </div><div><br></div><div>But thank you all again for your help! </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><div name="divtagdefaultwrapper" style="font-family:calibri,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;margin:0px"><div style="font-family:tahoma;font-size:10pt"><div style="font-size:10pt"><div style="font-size:10pt"><font size="3" color="339966"><font size="3" face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" color="#333333"><span style="font-size:12pt"><font face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><font face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><div><font size="2"><span style="font-size:16px"><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><div name="divtagdefaultwrapper" style="font-family:calibri,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;margin:0px"><div style="font-family:tahoma;font-size:10pt"><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><div style="font-size:10pt"><font size="3" color="339966"><font size="3" face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" color="#333333"><span style="font-size:12pt"><font face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><font face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><font size="2"><span style="font-size:16px"><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><font color="teal"><b>Kelly Brown, </b></font><b style="color:teal">Museum Coordinator</b></div></span></font></font></font></span></font></font><span><font size="3" color="339966"><font size="3" face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" color="#333333"><span style="font-size:12pt"><font face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><font face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><font size="2"><span style="font-size:16px"><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><b style="color:rgb(0,128,128)">PoCo Heri</b><b style="color:teal">tage Museum and Archives</b></div></span></font></font></font></span></font></font></span></div></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><span style="color:gray;font-size:16px;font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">150 - 2248 McAllister Ave</span><br style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px"><span style="color:gray;font-size:16px;font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Port Coquitlam BC V3C 2A5</span><br style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px"></span><font color="gray"><a href="tel:604-927-8403" value="+16049278403" style="color:rgb(17,85,204);font-family:arial,sans-serif;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">604-927-8403</a>| </font><a href="mailto:president@pocoheritage.org" style="color:rgb(17,85,204);font-family:arial,sans-serif" target="_blank">info</a><font color="gray"><a href="mailto:president@pocoheritage.org" style="color:rgb(17,85,204);font-family:arial,sans-serif;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">@pocoheritage.org</a></font><font color="gray">|</font><font style="color:rgb(17,85,204)"><a href="http://www.pocoheritage.org/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204);font-family:arial,sans-serif;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">www.pocoheritage.org</a></font><br></div></span></font></div></font></font></span></font></font></div></div></div></div></div><br><img src="http://www.pocoheritage.org/images/poco_heritage_logo.gif"><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
