SCROLL FLASK COLOR - 4/11/2007 2:21:03 AM    L C   Posts: 3208 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: online Zane, we were discussing the color of one of the scroll flasksI have that leans pretty much toward cobalt. I just viewed one on another site described as a Sapphire blue pontilled Scroll Flask from the Charlie Gardner collection.  I am adding a picture of  Garder's bottle Attachment (1) Post #: 1

The Gardner flask there fits both in my silly mind. I'd be happy with it if you called it just plain old blue. there will never be a definitive colour chart in the bottle world which makes pricing dicey when it comes to those in between shades. i sold a pontiled umberella ink a few years ago for fairly decent money and over a month later the guy decided with a little help from his friends it was dark aqua. Claimed i robbed him...ah well whatcha gonna do... Lobey. _____________________________ http://youtu.be/YkdOqdpSc0A makes a man cry it does lol. (in reply to L C) Post #: 2

RE: SCROLL FLASK COLOR - 11/30/2007 12:57:37 AM    L C   Posts: 3208 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: online Well put Lobes. I am tickled to death with mine regardless of its color, but its always nice to find out correct info if it is at all possible . I was never sure as to the color of mine, but it looks a lot like the one from the Charlie Gardner collection as for its color. Of course it is always the same as with anything when it comes to opinions, you can ask ten people their opinions on about anything, and will most generally get ten different opinions.

RE: SCROLL FLASK COLOR - 2/10/2008 7:45:58 PM    L C   Posts: 3208 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: online deer4x4   I like the scroll flasks, as well as most all bottles for that matter. I like the color of the one you have posted as well. I have one pretty much that same color that is opened pontiled. Also love the crudity of all the earlier bottles.   If someone were to say to me I had to pick just a certain type of bottles I have for keepers and would have to get rid of the rest of them, I would have a nervous breakdown in trying to decide what catagory of bottles I would want to keep. cowseatmaize   I have no idea as to the value of the bottle, still have not made it to the library to try and find any info on it. I was told by a member of the forum it might be worth around two to three thousand. I would think it would have to be in a specific book of some kind covering flasks. Will let you know if I can find out anything definite about it. But then again, what is anything worth, regardless of what a book may state concerning any item in general.

RE: SCROLL FLASK COLOR - 2/10/2009 12:19:41 AM    RED Matthews Posts: 2268 Joined: 8/2/2008 Status: offline Hey you guys;  Reading all of these concerns about colors and their identity made me think of a chart that I have in one of my many notebooks.  It was put together by an jar seller:  hoosierjar (6678) on eBay.  I will look for it tomorrow if I can fit it in.  I think he runs a good jar marketing set-up.  Besides this color irradiating and flash coloring on antique glass just fries my skillet and makes me sizzle.  There must be some good color work that has been done, that I just don't know about.  RED Matthews _____________________________ http://www.bottlemysteries.com/welcome/ (in reply to L C) Post #: 19

RE: SCROLL FLASK COLOR - 2/10/2009 12:29:41 AM    L C   Posts: 3208 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: online Hello Red , I have watched Hoosierjars auctions quite a few times , he has some of the nicest and most beautiful jars I have ever seen anywhere . I started collecting in the middle to late seventies , and in my area , I never did come up with any great jars as the ones this Gentleman comes up with nor seen any either for that matter . I always thought that strange that there were none coming to the surface in my area . The town I was raised in was founded in 1833 , seems there should have been a lot or at least some of them here and there in that space of time . (in reply to RED Matthews) Post #: 20
