My latest and deffinately greatest ever dug..actually, it was just sort of laying there waiting for me.[:D]
Tom B. invited me to go dig the Back Bay honey hole, and I am forever grateful! Thanks again Tom!
The color looks deep amber, but it's actually more olive amber than the pics show. There's a glob of stuff inside that looks like shmegpah, but it is indeed glass.
This server refuses to upload my pics, so you'll have to follow the links..sorry.

A note:

The last two pics, 700 and 701 show both sides of the top. It's SUPER crude and gloppy. You could actually cut yourself on the sheared top that's just inside the neck..

Congrats on a sweet little flask. The lip has a Conn. look to it.

Perhaps it IS a Conn bottle? It looks and feels stoddard-esque to Tom and I, but I for one would not say I am any sort of expert.
At any rate, I am full of joy about it!
