All were used with at least 1 of the 54 listed. _____________________________ Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Eric (in reply to L C) Post #: 21

RE: Pikes Peak - 6/3/2007 7:17:47 AM    epgorge   Posts: 2526 Joined: 12/29/2006 From: USA Status: offline Thanks Whiskey and Coweatmaize, I must say I am sitting on a cloud over this. Here are a few closer ups of the prospector and the eagle. So I am to understand this is not the ceredo eagle flask? It is a "Pittsburg Eagle"? I guess the next step is to price it and maybe sell it and then give the lady some more money. Joel Attachment (1) (in reply to cowseatmaize) Post #: 22

RE: Pikes Peak - 6/3/2007 7:30:48 AM    epgorge   Posts: 2526 Joined: 12/29/2006 From: USA Status: offline Now about ethics...... I just made the blunt comment, I would sell it and give half the money to the lady I bought it from. Then price and sell her others and share the money with her, if she wishes. My wife hit the ceiling. She thinks I am attempting to be honest to a fault. I must be slowly becoming my father, as he was honest to a fault. She feels the lady parted with an object she had no idea about. Is happy to have made a five dollar deal and it is a done deal, and she won't even think about it again. Antique dealers wouldn't do that, she feels. They/we have thousand of hours of research into their trades and that is valuable.  Then she started citing all the bottles I bought, way over priced and hit me with the old adage; "let the buyer be aware".  Attachment (1) < Message edited by epgorge -- 6/3/2007 7:34:45 AM > (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 25

The base is listed different but it may just not be showing the same on yours. It doesn't mean that much anyway. I still say real! _____________________________ Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Eric (in reply to L C) Post #: 26

What about color? It looks ice blue. So you  are saying, even the Clevenger Brothers are valuable? Joel (in reply to cowseatmaize) Post #: 27

It does have a nice strike. The 1930's Clevs with pontils tend to do fairly well. It's hit or miss and color is important. From what I've seen in the past folks like the amber and cobalt. If your gettin em for $5 get em all and show them to us. The one you have already paid for them and I suspect more real ones. I'd love to have even a fake corn-urn. _____________________________ Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Eric (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 28

RE: Pikes Peak - 6/3/2007 2:50:31 PM    L C   Posts: 3204 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline I hope your assessment of its authenticity is correct, as I have said, I have never seen or heard of a repop Pike's Peak Flask before, but I have also never seen a historical flask with that kind of a bottom.

RE: Pikes Peak - 6/4/2007 3:48:38 PM    epgorge   Posts: 2526 Joined: 12/29/2006 From: USA Status: offline I went back and bought the Jenny Linde  (Fislerville glass works with a factory embossed on it). Purple with a smoothed or iron pontil, 10 1/4 inches high. drippy lip. The one side has a picture of Jenny, with six leafs on the left bottom and five leafs on the right (our right). The other is a picture of the factory with barrels and maybe a dog in front of the building. The embossment is bold with the exception  of the Jenny lind and the Fislerville... The other flask is an aqua, has a picture of an eagle with stars above it on one side and grapes on the other. Open pontil on the bottom. stands 8 inches tall.

I like them even if they aren't original, which now I wonder about the Jenny Lind. She bought them from an elderly lady's estate sale. The clevenger and wheaton threw me off to think they were all repro. Attachment (1) < Message edited by epgorge -- 6/4/2007 5:08:28 PM > (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 38

Here's the base of a UNION Clasped Hand and Cannon.W. Frank & Sons Pitts. Have you tried the Polar Blueberry, it's good.

That is a hinge mold? Would this bottle have a CB or other mark on it somewhere? Joel (in reply to cowseatmaize) Post #: 40
