SWIRL PATTERN FLASK - 6/14/2005 2:30:10 PM    lobeycat Posts: 3776 Joined: 9/8/2003 From: RED SOX Nation Status: offline Old or new? 7 inches high, 16 swirls, open pontil. I've seen repros of these but with solid pontils only. Any thoughts? Lobey Attachment (1) Post #: 1

RE: SWIRL PATTERN FLASK - 6/14/2005 5:45:47 PM    Pettydigger Posts: 189 Joined: 1/2/2005 From: Southern Iowa Status: offline I can see pretty good wear on the bottom of the bottle, top right pic. I'm saying it is old and not a repo. I'd have to hold it and examine it closer though to be sure. If is a repo they done a damn good job at it. JMO as I'm not an expert on repos. Have a good one.

RE: SWIRL PATTERN FLASK - 6/14/2005 7:01:33 PM    amblypygi Posts: 453 Joined: 4/6/2004 From: Western Massachusetts Status: offline I don't think the flared lip is right for a midwestern flask, if I had to guess I'd say Mexican from the 1960s or 70s. I have one that's very similar (maybe exactly the same, I can't remember and it's in a box somewhere...) and has the stopper, and it has similar basewear. I'll try to find it and get a pic.

Always good to double check, before you plunk down your hard earned. She was asking a pretty large chunk o change for it to. Glad I didn't make one of my famous impulse buys, they usually turn out ok but not always. Ahh well maybe next time. Thanks fellas, Rich. (in reply to lobeycat) Post #: 5

Sorry to say , but I have to agree with Sean on this one !... Gee, that doesn't sound so good... I did find the one I have though, and it's actually different, more of a fantasy bottle than an actual attempt at a repro. It has quite a bit of base wear, but that can happen fast. I think I paid a quarter for it at a yard sale: Attachment (1) (in reply to BRIAN S.) Post #: 6

SON OFA B***H! I think it is a nice looking window bottle even if it is a repo. Good work Mexico Pettydigger (in reply to lobeycat) Post #: 7

I should have worded that differently I guess ! No offense towards you was meant . I meant that " sorry to say " for lobey. And not for agreeing with you on your evaluation.....because it didn't look original to me either .

I had one a bit darker some years ago and was told it was Mexican by the dealer I bought it from. I believe the flat/flared lip is the more obvious giveaway. It still has some value, say under $20... _____________________________ * 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.
