Likely a Clevenger. Value of about $15-20 is correct. Dell Glass also made these, but their design has the image of staff & notes embossed on the reverse. Violin collectors value the rarer colors, amberina, vaseline, milkglass, cobalt. Pontiled & signed (CB )examples also are more valuable...
Not a Clevenger, but made with a Clevenger mold. It is a contemporary fantasy flask made with interchangeable slug plates. It should not be listed as pre-1900.
This is a Rose In Snow jug, made by Clevenger Brothers Glass Works, Clayton, NJ from 1950-1990's.
It is hand blown in a mold. Made in amber, green, cobalt, blue, amethyst. Value about $15-$25. Occasionally
found in amberina. Reproduction? Not really - was only made by Clevenger.
Made in a Clevenger mold by Gilson & Sons Glassworks, Clayton, NJ. They purchased most of the Clevenger tools & molds a few years back. They are now making specialty & commemorative bottles & flask.

My guess is 1950-60's. Value is $20-$30.Yours is somewhat more desirable because it is pontiled & the color resembles the original. The most valuable Clevenger Jenny Linds are early ones with applied tops($40-$50) and in amberina/ruby($80-$130)
This is a Clevenger. This one was made before the "CB" intitials were added to the base.
Tom Haunton's new book on the Clevenger Brothers gives full and complete descriptions and photos of all the items
they made, including several different varieties of Jenny Lind flask. It is a great...
This is a handblown in mold Clevenger piece from the 1950-60's. It is called a Rose In Snow Jug.

Clevenger never made a GI-26 Washington Eagle Reproduction. It does not appear in any of their catalogs nor is in mentioned in Tom Haunton's soon to published book on the Clevenger Brothers. Several years ago I was involved in an inventory of all the Clevenger molds - this was not one...
Clevenger began making these as lamp fonts in the 1940's-50s and later as pitchers but the mold is probably much older. Star & Shield oil lamps with the exact same pattern were made & sold at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition. Several South Jersey glass companies
made glass at the...
