AS you can see, the Clevenger is not only larger but wider...and heavier...
Also lacks the pontil, unlike yours.
A Clevenger catalog I have notes your flask is called a Diamond Bottle..
Still trying to locate if any Clevenger examples were pontiled.

BRENDA...great pix and info...!!

I believe the two unsigned flasks are Clevenger repRoes...they made them in all colors...
The one pictured in my catalog is Milk Glass...
I'm glad  you posted the "marks"...Helps a lot.

SPENCER...some Clevenger bottles did indeed have pontils...as for this particular flask of yours - I have yet to find out.
Someone needs to do a thorough  and well researched book on the Clevengers and their wares.

SPENCER..no, I haven't found out anything new.
BUT, here's a pontilled blue one that recently sold on eBay...
Repro? Flask w/ Finished Top + Pontil & Diamond Pattern 
Being as the genuine old flasks weren't generally made in bright colors, such as Jersey green and  sapphire blue, it may be yours is an early repRo...

TNCGAL recently bought a pair of these flasks , too. Was waiting for her to get them and learn if either of them was pontilled.
