Tough one.
Great color, Sheared lip, Pontil.
Nice embossing, kinda crude.
Looks real enough!

I don't know, Harold, it's a beautiful bottle but the color has that distinctive "Clevenger" hue! It will be an interesting auction to watch.

Yuppers.
It is on my list of "iwillwatchitbutwontbuyitcausethewifeywillkillme" []

I will send the seller a note asking for a side shot close up of the neck.

I look forward to seeing the photo ... hope they send it.

Rich,
He did put up some new pics as I asked him!
I really did not think he would!
I think that flask is looking better and better.

He did a nice job with those photos! I wonder what it will bring ... really nice color on this one.

Its old but its european How old is the question. They were still pontiling bottles much later in some countries.

Chris is correct. This is an Eastern European bottle (almost certainly Norwegian) that Arnstein Berntsen dates from 1850-1880 in the hard-to-find book "En Samling Norsk Glass."
