I have no idea why I thought "tule" was about the Tule Lake area. Might be oldtimers setting in. Thanks for clearing that up boys.

Sorry about the "localization" of the word "Toolie". Tules abound around here, so I just shortened the word to give it a "valley" flavor, GO.

Those are some nice flasks! There are apparently a couple of us who appreciate Oregon glass. Those ambers are particularly nice with great character. They are all at least very scarce to rare, and the tie in to Hotaling makes them a "10" in my book. Thanks for posting them. They sure are not being dug these days for several reasons. M.E.
