#5's image looks more like an Erlenmeyer flask than a beaker. Anyway, I used to have a Pyrex (or maybe Kimble) 500 ml one that I kept around for whenever I had some wine. Later it started getting used for most any beverage that I drank, usually diet soda. Unfortunately it got lost during my move and as it was only a fifty-cent flea market find, I can't be arsed to pay ebay prices to replace it.

Yeah, but I did not make the sign, so it's on someone else for that error.

You would not believe what some glassware costs new.......whenever I could salvage stuff from a closing lab, we were there in numbers carting it away.
I expect nothing and I’m still let down.

Re: Seen in Print
Somebody has done some "photoshopping" Two different Google streetviews show a door below the sign

DEC 2021

I looked this up as I thought that it might be in Capitol Heights, MD, it was (now permanently closed according to Google) in Denver, CO. And, from the small original view, I thought that it might be a nice prototype for a commercially made model; Woodland Scenics or maybe Menard's.

Actually, I would. Just for giggles, I went to the bay and found two; a Karter and a Marienfeld for $9.20 with shipping; not as bad as I thought but not for me.

No, not eBay. Go to a scientific supply company and see.
Stuff on eBay tends to be stuff left over or there to clear out warehouses and labs that are closing.

If that's the case you might want to get them checked

Nope. Not everything is automatically fake. Give it a bit of thought -- Plant shadow + cat shadow......simples. Or, you could chose to believe that that cat is really one of the Elder Gods in disguise. I prefer the latter as it explains much of the goings on in the country of late.
