    Has the inside of a bottle been tumbled?

    I recently won a Seeing Eye Flask (GIV-43) on eBay. Looking at the bottle with a magnifying glass I noticed some light scratches about 3/4" down the inside of the neck that go in a somewhat circular direction around the inside (but uneven and not fully around, just 1/3. Also some slight...

    Rare Pikes Peak GXI-4

    I know where there is a reasonably priced Pikes Peak GXI-4 for sale, extremely rare according to Eatwell's book on Pike's Peak Flasks. Unfortunately I can't justify buying it for myself because I'm short on funds to make all the remaining tuition payments for my daughters college education this...

    Any thoughts on a value?

    I have been holding on to this flask for a while to sell it (on eBay) in order to raise funds, when I decided to acquire something special for my collection. Any thoughts on what it's worth or what I might get for it on a good day? It's a Pike's Peak Flask GXI-21 with a sheared lip, but no...

    eBay / Caution

    I purchased what appeared to be a very nice teal O.P. umbrella ink two weeks ago on eBay. However when I received the bottle I found it had an irregular, transparent coating of some kind applied to the interior, probably to mask some staining. A not so careful buyer might not have caught it, but...

    Hello Everyone, I'm offering a golden-yellow seam-sided, half-pint flask for sale. I've owned this bottle for 37 years. It has an over-all matt-dullness to the outside and an 1/8" pot-stone with no radiations. Other than that it's perfect; no scratches, chips or dings. There doesn't appear to...

    http://cgi.ebay.com/GII-24-LOUISVILLE-DOUBLE-EAGLE-PINT-/170572042449 I'm wondering why this Louisville Double Eagle pint is going so high, when one sold just a couple weeks ago for $224.00? Any thoughts?

    Bottle Display

    I'm new to the bottle forum. I thought I would try posting a photo of my collection as it looked about a year and a half ago. Since that time I've sold about a dozen of the bottles and purchased new ones. I'll try to shoot some current pictures of my collection over the holiday and post them...

    Cleaning out dried original contents

    I have acquired a rather rare golden yellow Pikes Peak Flask, GXI-17 that has some original dried contents inside (it is otherwise mint). I soaked it for a few hours in warm water with small amount of regular dishwashing detergent, but only the thinest content areas softened enough to come off...
