New Flask and Display - 8/8/2008 9:03:52 PM    JustGlass   Posts: 400 Joined: 7/22/2005 From: Green Mountains of Vermont Status: offline I found this crude 1/2 pint yellow-olive strapside flask for $10.00 while out shopping for another display cabinet. This bottle has a wicked sucked in front and back, crooked neck , crazy crude top that looks like the bottle maker threw it on from about five feet away. Very strange old looking textured glass with nice bubbles. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I was shopping for a new curio cabinet but couldn't find one that was anywhere near affordable so I bought this old refinished case for $202.00 Its not lighted but maybe I can rig something up. This baby is huge and should hold a bunch of glass. Attachment (1) (in reply to JustGlass) Post #: 3

I really need to find something also.       Jim < Message edited by GlassKeeper -- 8/9/2008 10:05:13 AM > (in reply to JustGlass) Post #: 5
