RE: new flask !! - 5/23/2008 2:14:41 PM    Staunton Dan   Posts: 213 Joined: 5/5/2005 Status: offline Now that's just beautiful. Is it a pint or quart? Either one it's a beaut. I have dug 17 broken historical flasks in the past year and some were OPs. A whole one is definately on the top of my want to find list. Thanks for posting. If you put it in a tumbler there's always the chance of breaking it. I'm like Chris, it looks fine just the way it is. Attachment (1) (in reply to baltbottles) Post #: 8

Status: offline hey great looking bottle toss up about tumbling but here is my opinion about the neck i am thinking that when they were using the shearing tool it slid alittle and then they heated it up and that how the tapper effect got there if you look at my flask lip you can see where they were going to shear it but then moved up and sheared it just my opinion but anyways great flask i am still looking for any of the flasks that have a stag on them good luck on future finds bob and thanks for sharing Attachment (1) (in reply to sweetrelease) Post #: 10

RE: new flask !! - 5/25/2008 10:58:25 PM    KentOhio   Posts: 688 Joined: 9/13/2004 Status: offline You're right about the shear line on yours, Bob. But the neck on the stag flask is something different. The neck on it is longer than the mold was supposed to make a neck, so everything above the horizontal line stuck out of the mold. It's something I usually only seen on early Baltimore and New Jersey flasks. I read in a book that Coffin & Hay was mostly a window glass factory and only made flasks from 1836 to 1838.
