Any info on either flask would be great. Attachment (1) (in reply to passthebottle) Post #: 3

RE: Found inside of pail! - 7/4/2008 8:09:35 AM    passthebottle   Posts: 263 Joined: 1/23/2007 Status: offline   Thanks guys.  Someone suggested that this flask could be from that famous glasshouse in New England, but I don"t know how or even if it"s possible to identify an unmarked flask as such.

While there is no embossing I believe they were made here in New England Bob (in reply to passthebottle) Post #: 8

RE: Found inside of pail! - 7/5/2008 7:17:29 PM    appliedlips Posts: 1712 Joined: 1/30/2005 Status: offline     Those seamsided flasks seem to be commonly referred to as Stoddard type flasks but I think alot of glasshouses made them including Stoddard,Lyndeborough,Whitney,Westford,and probably several others in New England & Pa..That one doesn't look to have an applied lip so it is probably a little late for Stoddard,maybe one of the New England experts can help out.Nice find and good luck out there _____________________________ I WOULD LIKE TO BUY OR TRADE FOR YOUR COLORED,AND OR EMBOSSED CATHEDRAL PEPPERSAUCE BOTTLES.I AM ALSO LOOKING FOR EMBOSSED MIDWESTERN ALES IN ANY COLOR.
