There are repros then there are repros... - 7/3/2008 10:18:19 PM    lobeycat Posts: 3426 Joined: 9/8/2003 From: RED SOX Nation Status: offline I picked this up at a flea market a Sunday or two ago. One look at the lip and the glass itself and there was no doubt what I had. This one may have been blown for Old Sturbridge Village (right down the road) in the 60's. The guy wanted $5, it was late and I'm a pretty cheap prick and got him down to $2. There's one on ebay right now so I'm feeling pretty good about the buy. Pint JP Masonic EAGLE historical whiskey flask bottle  Mine is also etched on the bottom but mine is, OSV. Anyone know the history of these? What's the JP stand for, and what's with the etching? Lobes.

I've been pretty tired lately and my mind never put together the etching as the monogram for the Village. A handsome bottle and well made for a reproduction. I seem to remember someone telling me they where blown in Europe some where. Thanks for kick starting the ole brainpan Rich. _____________________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ye8GLPUVsM&feature : ) (in reply to kungfufighter) Post #: 4
