Jenny Lind Flask Repro? - 6/27/2005 5:28:23 PM    ryan13   Posts: 3 Joined: 6/25/2005 Status: offline I just bought this flask today. I am looking for any information on whether this is a reproduction. I looked up a little, and found some discussion about Clevenger Brothers. Mine is marked CB on the bottom, so I believe that it was reproduced. The front says "Jenny Lind" and the back says "Fislerville Glassworks. Even if it was reproduced, does anyone know possible value, whether it is worth anything at all. Any help is greatly appreciated. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I've had a couple in aqua (light green) and if you saw one you'd know the difference right away. The originals are more detailed and better made. You can buy bottles like your's on ebay for $6 or less. I've seen them sell for a dollar. Sorry dude! Lobey. (in reply to ryan13) Post #: 2

These came in many different colors. If you are selling it.....you might try ebay. I had an identical flask in cobalt blue that sold on ebay for 45.00 ( I picked it up at the local flea market for 6.00 ) . So you never know ... It might be a color a collector needs for his run of Jenny Lind repros ) . Brian _____________________________ Tennessee Hillbilly Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most !

I still see Bromos going for $5 or more and it has to be just for that. _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back.

It looked like an original. The bad thing is, someone broke it. I'd love to find another in aqua, doubt I ever will. (in reply to ryan13) Post #: 9

Sounds like you had an original Jenny...they're not that hard to find nor are they all that expensive. They do turn up at shows occasionally and on Ebay...keep yer eyes peeled. _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc...and, Friends of Steeles Creek Nature Center & Park President: Bristol Tenn-Va Bottle Club Author of: Spirits & Medicinal Bottles of Bristol,TN-VA.

RE: Jenny Lind Flask Repro? - 9/19/2005 10:00:28 PM    Rick   Posts: 9 Joined: 6/13/2004 From: Kentucky Status: offline The one I have is a one piece (no applied top) and doesn't have a pontil. I'm pretty sure it was an early repro. I also have an Albany flask in the same exact color (actually I bought them both at the same time, from the same collector for about $10) (in reply to ryan13) Post #: 11
