Jenny Lind Fislerville Glass Works - 1/19/2005 7:35:49 PM    joanne59   Posts: 5 Joined: 1/17/2005 Status: offline I need some help identifying this flask and estimating value. I searched Kovels and couldn't believe how many variations there are! Jenny Lind flask Approximately 9 3/8 inches tall, open pontil, I'm not sure if the lip is applied (to me it looks more rolled!) In some light it looks aqua, in other light more of a pale lime green. Please let me know what additional information you need and if you'd like more photos of specific parts of the flask. Post #: 1

Color and condition on these particular Jenny's dictates the price. The one I had was a deep aqua (not quite a true green) had a tapered ringed lip and was in mint condition. Your's is definitely aqua, not sure of the lip style, it scares me. I believe The Clevenger Bros. had a pontiled repro of this bottle. The pic below is the neck and lip style of the one I had. Rich.

Mine definitely does not have the double lip. Here's another picture of the lip: Attachment (1) (in reply to joanne59) Post #: 4

RE: Jenny Lind Fislerville Glass Works - 1/19/2005 9:30:35 PM    joanne59   Posts: 5 Joined: 1/17/2005 Status: offline I just did a Google search for Clevenger bottles - none of the ones I found look anything like mine (the repros/copies had the double lip). I'm stumped! Later... another Google search for Jenny Lind Flask, can't find anything that looks even close to mine < Message edited by joanne59 -- 1/19/2005 9:56:23 PM > (in reply to joanne59) Post #: 5

Whether it's an early Clevenger Brothers repro. or not I can't really tell. Examine the bottle very closely and see if you see the initials C B are embossed on it anywhere . Some of the early Clevengers were marked. The early Clevengers have a market and are getting to be very collectible. I have seen authentic Lind's with several different lip treatments , So this isn't a sure way of telling if an example is original or not. I was told by Jeff Noordsy that you can tell the Repro's by the neck. If you look at your neck very carefully you will see that it goes down rather straight from the lip and then tapers out rather quickly when it gets to the body of the bottle. And on the original ( like in lobeycats pic) the neck tapers gradually all the way from the lip to the body of the bottle. If you examine the pics of your bottles neck and of the one lobeycat has pictured I believe you will see the difference and understand what I'm trying to explain.
