        Description19 small, clear glass beakers in 2 sizes (9.4 cm and 7.7 cm). Seven have a printed label "Germany" fixed to the side of the beaker. Thirteen have stoppers in them; one of these has a stopper wrapped in paper in it. About half of the beaker stoppers have teardrop-shaped tops, the other half have bulb-shaped tops. Six of the flasks are open, but have what appear to be stoppers wrapped in paper tied to them. Nine of the flasks with stoppers have a strip of paper passing through the neck of the flask, between the stopper and the neck (to avoid sealing).
