Hi Taz...
I'm so envious!!!!
It was this particular flask that I got screwed on in an ebay auction (see SCAM forum)...
Someday I hope to own one of these; it's up there on my wishlist... Nice flask!!!

Hi Ron thanks! Here are a couple more flasks. These are stoddard. The olive colored double eagle is a tad better then common variety, this specimen has a X embossed in the oval, a mold variant. The larger stoddard in the rear was dug here in Maine about two months ago by my friend Peter Samuelson, he digs em I buy em.... I read about the bottle you bought 100 bucks for a cracked one???? I only paid 120 for my specimen and its flawless... Does yours have the words KEENE or is it spelt like KCCNC The messed up letter mold variant goes higher almost double.... Taz

The story is even sadder than you imagine! I'm pretty sure the cracked flask was embossed "Keene", but I can't check to see 'cause not only did the guy wind up with the money (he refused to refund me), but he got the flask when I returned it per his instructions on ebay... He probably patched it up and resold it... The only bright spot in this whole sad affair is that the guy is no longer a member of ebay... I don't know if it was a voluntary separation or he was asked to leave, but it's some vindication...
P.S. nice little flask collection... I'll have to post a pic of the Lowell Railroad/Eagle flask I picked up on my trip tp Maine last month...

Hi Taz...
Here's a photo of the base... I got it at Austin's Antiques on Route 4 in NH... He always seems to have a nice little selection of bottles, often Stoddard-blown... He was asking $225, and took $200...
