Status: offline 		One last aside here,....Credit and thanks where it's due! Thank you to Steve Sewell-bottleman who sparked the idea for this roadtrip!...Little did I know earlier in the weekend, that I'd be viewing that Tippecano/Northbend bottle in person that I was asking Steve and Mike about in a different thread! Thank you

The Coffin and Hay flask in color is very nice but the aqua example can be found at any show and they are obscuring the far more important GII-57 and GII-58 flasks.  I officially have my dander up again.  The collection needs to be rearranged, period.  Any help other forum members could provide (with well intentioned notes and/or suggestions) would be much appreciated.  My thanks in advance for your efforts!

Steve,....Did not see it nor even know that it existed! I was going to add that it probably would have been in with the other booz bottles, but I'm not so certain...Anyhow it's very cool and rare!...I'd be happy with a blown aqua Warners someday....(My budgets version of the aqua Booz!)    Tanks again everyone....

Jeff,...Could we do some sort of cybermailing, from or through the forum,....After all,..this is the premier bottle forum, and with such a powerful userbase we might get some results!.....Just a thought....Joe

Richard Wistar had this bottle made for himself.There are two other RW bottles like this but they are diffrent
in color and size.They also are extremely rare but they are in the Dupont museum in Greenville Delaware.

Status: offline 		That is one ultra-amazing bottle,...beautiful color too......I'm out of my comfort zone here,....but what era(s) are we talking?..... late 1700's,....early 1800's? I suppose if I did my homework, and refreshed my history dates I could give it a closer guess....earlier yet?....   Thank you for the ongoing interesting info!                                      Joe

The bottle was probably made between 1752 and 1782 when the works closed.

Status: offline 		Thanks, Joe for posting all those pictures.  It's so danged aggravating that they won't spend a little time to better orchestrate and tastefully display those flasks.  It's not that difficult to do if I can do it.  But honestly, when I look at stuff like that, my stomach literally knots up, just like the first time I laid eyes on my wife 30 years ago.  So Mike, it was a compliment of the highest sort when I said you should rename yourself "The Nauseator" because those pictures of your medicines have the same effect!

Status: offline 		I know Jim! I appreciate your compliments. I love to show off this stuff just as much as I love to look at them (almost on a daily basis). It REALLY amazes me to have this kind of glass in my collection because I really never expected to see some of these things in my lifetime. So, I share what I can with other glass junkies!

I like my Howards, however, there is one out there that really makes me "nauseous"!

Joe, I would like to add my appreciation as well for your visual tour of Corning. I am scheduling a tour this Spring! Did you have some personal favorites?

Mike

Status: offline 		Sandchip, I agree.  There were some great bottles and I really wanted to get a better look at them.  They should have some free standing displays so you can see the backs of them as well.  There was one cabinet that had two large jars crammed with dolls, pencils and odds and ends.  I couldn't tell what all was in there!  Anyone know??  I would have like to have gotten a better look at some of the labels too.  I'm not complaining, well I guess I am, but there are a lot of things they could do to make their displays better and it would not take much effort.  The ancient Roman glass, etc. and all of the newer glass were displayed much more effectively.

Mike, Red, anyone else visiting Corning, let us know when you go and you can come visit and dig with us.  We're not far from the museum.  That would be a real treat.

Status: offline 		Mike,....I just noticed your question.... I loved seeing all these rare and classic flasks and bottles, and I really liked all the 'heavy hitters' but I have a question for you as well concerning one of these flasks.....I'm pretty sure that the blue flask in this pic was from the Lockport glass works,...Just for that fact I really liked it ,could you confirm that it was a Lockport bottle? (I have a thing for Lockport glass, and Merchant's bottles...It's kind of our version of Stoddard)....My other favorite out of these pics was the vertical ribbed olive/citron colored Louisville Glass Works flask, Followed by the Ravenna Glass Works flask...  Thanks for asking,.... Joe

Status: offline 		Joe,

That is a GI-60 in blue... very pretty flask and certainly Lockport, as it is embossed with the glasshouse name. Jeff and I were recently having a conversation about the fact that so many Washington / Taylor flasks (which had always been attributed to Dyottville) are probably in fact Lockport. They are often found in NY state, Canada, etc and come in a range of colors very typical of the Lockport factory output.

Status: offline 		Mike,...do you think that follows true of other local semi-rare bottles?...There are a lot of quite beautiful Buffalo NY bottles (bitters),...etc. that certainly look like lockport glass to me, and it only makes sense since they're neighbors...      http://www.bottlebooks.com/buffalobottles/early_buffalo_medicine_bottles2.htm
The pics on this link page don't illustrate my point exactly color-wise,....but alot of early Buffalo bottles (and shards) that I've dug seem to validate this....                         Joe
