Rare GII-63 Willington Eagle 1/2 Pint - OP

[brynbar]

Greetings,

Just got a pretty rare flask at a small estate in the Quebec area.
It's a 1/2 pint Willington Liberty Eagle flask (GII-63), with a sheared lip and a tubular pontil. It's absolutely mint, and loaded with character.
But here's the twist...its in EMERALD GREEN !
Anyone ever seen this color, in this flask before ?

Hey Mike, Very, very nice flask.

Lobeycat,

Thanks for your reply.

I also photographed it next to a Saratoga Red Spring pint that I have.

Colors are identical.

Heckler has sold lighter versions in the $1000 - $2000 range.

I have already been offered a large sum for this, but might end up keeping it, as its color is so unique to the Connecticut Glass Houses.

Hey brynbar, I just looked up your beautiful Flask, according to Michael Polak's book titled "Bottles" the 5th edition, your Flask "Liberty-Eagle-Willington-Glass-Co-West Willington-Conn, Medium blue green, half pint, smooth base, applied double collar mouth, American 1856-1875.....$500.00-$700.00

Don't know if that helps you any, but there you go.....Happy Digging....Beebs

Beebs,

Thanks for your research.

I just got the latest book...THE AUCTION PRICE REPORT.

It reflects what people are currently paying, and seems to be a good indicator of trends, odd colors, varients, etc...

Thanks again,
