Keene NH historical flask... - 9/17/2008 9:22:06 PM    Oldtimer Posts: 811 Joined: 5/13/2004 From: Effingham NH. Where else? Status: offline I was offered this super nice zero damage flask today....private owner.... It's amber with a bit of olive shade... It has masonic symbols on one side, not a whole "arch" of them like I have seen, but 3 separate masonic symbols..one under the other...and a hard to distinguish embossing at the very bottom right side... And it has an eagle on the other side, with KEENE embossed below it... Pontiled, but not big and jagged....more like a circular ground glass pontil... Pint size.... I looked it up in a Kovels....and found some listed as "masonic/eagle"....but no mention of Keene....and a masonic/eagle was pictured,  masonic side, it looked nothing like the one this fellow has... Can anyone help me here? I have decided I will buy it if I can, because I am ready to step up to the "money" bottles...he said he'd take $400..is this far too much? Not nearly it's value? Thanks. _____________________________ STOP THE CAR !! I think I see a cellarhole !!! Post #: 1

It's hard to say which flask it is without seeing it, and without knowing which one it is $400 could be a great buy or too much, who knows. Sean (in reply to Oldtimer) Post #: 2

Status: offline I can get a pic, but I will have to link to photobucket... Perhaps it does have the arch above the symbols...I looked at several on line and they all have the arch...and the odd embossing at the lower right...so I'm guessing it's value is $175 - $225..as the others I saw on line were in that range... I will go get a pic today. Thanks guys. I should have known I was off with my guess when he said "I'd take that $400.."...he's a sharp old bird... _____________________________ STOP THE CAR !!
