By the time Emmy arrived at the flea market in Locarno, Switzerland, 99% of the buyers had left, the sellers had put away 99% of the things that had been for sale. Emmy managed to buy 99% of a towel rack with glass rods and brass brackets. Now if we only had the missing 1%! Well later I did find a screw that fit.

Exactly where we found it is not noted in the Journal, but somewhere in France Emmy bought a 10 inch high, 5 inches across, half round, with handle, and a hole to hang on a wall, light blue porcelain “something.” Emmy was going to put flowers in it, but when we got home, she noticed a little spout at the bottom, and inside are markers for each half/liter up to 2 litters. Best we can figure, it is hung on the wall and is used to supply water for a douche, or some such thing. For some reason, Emmy choose not to use it as a flower pot, after all.
The 2” round paper label says, “Fabrication Française, L & Cie.” In the middle is a picture of an eagle and the words, “L’aigle, Marque Déposée.” That means something like, “Eagle, Trade Mark.”

Well, who else do you know who has a milk bottle from Warsaw, Poland?

A cane maker in the Amish area in Indiana had these handles, not long enough for a cane, available to be mounted as hooks to hang coats, or whatever.

Well someone bought it somewhere, most likely in San Francisco.
