Been wanting to start a flask collection but no luck digging anything but the warranted's so when I came across a deal I jumped on this one. I know it's not a rare one but it's a nice & crude Baltimore Glassworks flask.

aqua pint size, eagle on one side, anchor on the other etc. GXIII-53 I believe? can I get a ballpark estimate on value? Smooth base hinge mold, No damage etc. I don't have a pic. THANKS

Half gallon jar. Embossing is weak & hard to photo, but it is embossed with both Ball and Masons Patent 1858 underneath. No base marks, pretty crude but I don't know much about jars........is it common? date or value?
Wondering if anyones got any info....quart bottle, embossing reads /CAUCHOIS 42ND STREET OPPOSITE DEPOT NEW YORK/. It is a bim bottle but the block letter embossing looks later to me. Only info I come up with on Cauchois is coffee dealers and an artist. My guess is 1900 - 1910?
It wasn't broken and I didn't find anything else so I carried this big ugly thing outta the woods today. It's 11 inches across & weighs 11lbs. I don't much collect insulators but I thought it'd be a conversation piece (actually it's kinda growin on me a little). Don't expect it's worth much but...
This is one of those one's I picked up just because I liked it. Just under 8" tall, hinge mold, embossed on 3 sides /POWELLS EMBROCATION/ 602 S 2nd ST/ PHILADA. Crude with some nice whittle & looks & "feels" like 1860's. Don't expect it's worth a fortune, just wonderin' if anyone has seen...
Found this one, I know I've seen 'em before, smooth base 1880's or so, embossed on 4 sides - BARRELL'S INDIAN LINIMENT H.C.O. CARY. Any info?
Thanks, Frank
Found this while diggin, I first saw the female end stickin up I thought it was a piece of terra - cotta sewer pipe. It's 10 inches long, opening goes from 4" down to 3". Maybe an adapter for a chimney flue? I know it's not valuable but I can't chuck it - yet.
Thanks
Figured somebody would know who made this one; it's a machine made whiskey - earlier I guess because it purpled real well, on the bottom is CAPACITY ONE FULL QUART. With R over G in the center. Only thing I could find that comes close is Root glass co. or Rhodes glass but I don't think their...
was wonderin if anybody else has seen this yet..........[&o]

got one of those annoying corner holes. Only way I can figure is to go from the inside with a long syringe (bottle is 4" tall) with the resin, & dam it with clay on the outside.......Any other suggestions?
dig scheduled for today got rained out so ran some errands instead, stopped in a junk shop & found these bottles, 2 Davis & Miller Baltimore druggists O.P. + 2 pontiled puffs, only a buck a piece so I grabbed em! Didn't notice till I got home that one D & M has a 1/8" hole in one of the corners...
