CLEVENGER BROS. - 7/3/2005 2:49:37 AM    whiskeyman Posts: 1994 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline Here's some Washington-Albany Glass works/Sailing Ship flasks. All Blown In Mold. Top 3 have smooth bases....Others have a circular depression in the center. These could be mistaken for the real thing...except the milk white one with the odd mouth.

RE: CLEVENGER BROS. - 7/3/2005 2:55:01 AM    whiskeyman Posts: 1994 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline These are Success To The Railroad flasks...all Blown In Mold. Top 3 are made by Clevenger... Bottom two are very thin,delicate, & fragile glass. I believe these were made by Kanawha Glass Co. out of W.VA. in the late 1970's. The Clevenger flasks could pass for the real thing. Attachment (1) _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc....and...

RE: CLEVENGER BROS. - 7/3/2005 3:01:41 AM    whiskeyman Posts: 1994 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline Scroll Flasks...BIM...the upside down one was made In Italy...others are Clevenger. Again, with the exception of the ruffled mouth on one scroll, these could pass for originals. Attachment (1) _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc....and...

RE: CLEVENGER BROS. - 7/9/2005 1:06:01 AM    whiskeyman Posts: 1994 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline Washington-Taylor flasks... Amber is Clevenger...the other is very similar but much more delicate/fragile glass...Could be Clevenger, but not sure. Either could fool the uninitiated.

RE: CLEVENGER BROS. - 7/9/2005 1:12:07 AM    whiskeyman Posts: 1994 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline Here's a group of Scroll flasks. They are made by Clevenger...all have the Clevenger Bros slug scene/logo on the reverse. Three are 1776-1976 20th Century Commemoratives... Battle Of Cowpens (lt.blue), Victory At Yorktown (clear), First Blood At Lexington (green). The sapphire blue & amethyst are North Carolina 20th Century Commemoratives, part of a set of 6.

RE: CLEVENGER BROS. - 7/9/2005 1:14:27 AM    whiskeyman Posts: 1994 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline Three of these scrolls all Commemorate the Federation of Historical Bottle Collectors...and one has a tag for Downer Glass Works of New Jersey... The amber one is the North Jersey Bottle Club bottle made by Clevenger Bros.

RE: CLEVENGER BROS. & OTHERS - 7/9/2005 1:26:31 AM    whiskeyman Posts: 1994 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline This is a very good repo of the Concentric Ring/Eagle Canteen flask...made in Italy. It has the offset seams of the early Ownes machine, but to the beginner, it would appear to be authentic. Attachment (1) _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc....and...

RE: CLEVENGER BROS. - 7/9/2005 1:27:51 AM    trussin   Posts: 156 Joined: 5/5/2005 Status: offline Owned an Albany myself. It had a glob of glass on the bottom that made it appear pontil. Amber 1/2 pint with a short leaning sheared top. Sold it on ebay for more than it should have gone for. Some guys love them as you can tell from above. Joe B (in reply to whiskeyman) Post #: 9

RE: CLEVENGER BROS. & OTHERS - 7/9/2005 1:28:09 AM    whiskeyman Posts: 1994 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline I believe these delicate decanters were made by either Kanawha Glass or Blenko Glass....circa late 1970's...

RE: CLEVENGER BROS. - 7/9/2005 1:36:04 AM    whiskeyman Posts: 1994 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline JOE...I like the repos....started out collecting them in order to learn how to spot them...Some still give me pause. These next 3....the aqua one is an Eagle/Cornucopia...machine made with a pontil...a few are listed on Ebay as vintage or old, rare, etc...I think they are very recent made...Eagle is "cartoony"....not good work at all. The amber is also an Eagle/Cornucopia...a little bit better made . The fake pontil on the base is similar to those on Wheaton bottles...maker unknown. The blue is a Masonic/Eagle/JP...probably machine made in Spain in the late 70's. Attachment (1) _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc....and...

RE: CLEVENGER BROS. - 7/9/2005 1:38:32 AM    whiskeyman Posts: 1994 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline These two are 20th Century Commemoratives...Lincoln/Log Cabin .... reportedly made by LE Smith Glass Co...in the 1960's....possibly as a Civil War 100th Anniversary flask.

These feature Robert E Lee (obverse) & Jefferson Davis ( reverse).... Attachment (1) _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc....and...
