A Little More Grape Capt Bragg Blown Purple Glass Flask - 1/16/2012 5:11:22 PM    Seifer7111   Posts: 4 Joined: 1/16/2012 Status: offline I have a blown purple glass flask with " A Little More Grape" Capt Bragg written on the front and Liberty&Union 1865 on the back. The flask has no seams, just the mark on the bottom where it was cut after being blown. I am attaching pictures of this historical flask. From everything that I am reading it seems to be authentic and not a reproduction. Would someone be able to tell me what exactly I have? I am interested in selling it as well just don't know the proper forum for it. Thanks! Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I believe your model is a Wheaton. The original looks more like this: (in reply to Seifer7111) Post #: 5

The base also doesn't strike me as having a convincingly genuine pontil scar.. (in reply to surfaceone) Post #: 6

New Hampshire Status: offline It looks modern, but I have a hard time thinking that it is made by Wheaton. Every wheaton bottle I've seen is ABM, while this bottle shows obvious signs that it is handblown. My best guess would be that it was made by Clevlenger (hope I spelled the right), though the base is unusual. _____________________________ Looking for non-screw or crown top sodas,beers, & ect, BIM medicines, bitters, druggists, and anything hand blown and black glass.
