Robert E Lee and Jefferson Davis Flask, real or fake? - 8/2/2007 12:48:35 AM    skampler   Posts: 47 Joined: 8/1/2007 Status: offline Here is the last one I'm not sure about. This flask looks old due to the imperfect lip, but again I just don't know. Let me know what you guys know! Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I've been looking at the Indian Queen and hope somebody else comments on it! Rich (in reply to skampler) Post #: 4

The Clevenger Brothers, of Clayton, N.J., were great for this and I have several examples in my collection a lot of people would swear were actual antique bottles. However, a good repro does bring some decent money these days. Rich (in reply to skampler) Post #: 8

It's real i would say, just not really old. The lip is kind of a give away. Still a neat bottle. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to skampler) Post #: 9

Maker unknown,although LE Smith Glass Co did make a similar Lincoln/Cabin flask about the same time... _____________________________ * 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.
