Keene Sunburst Flask

Skycollect · Jul 3, 2013

Hello, I have been looking at a lot of old bottle magazines and auction records lately. I really like the Keene Sunburst Flasks. I cannot seem to find any pictures of the bottom on one though. Would anyone happen to have one to share? Also are these reproduced?

Regards,

Skyler

Might as well go big and get this one in the upcoming Glass Works auction. What a killer!

They were and quite well done too.

Just looked that one up, WOW. Ha! I would have to sell my car and a lot of marbles to buy that one.

What are characteristics that fake sunburst flasks have?

Thanks

What are characteristics that fake sunburst flasks have?

They are quite real looking, those are the characteristics. If you saw one on ebay without lots of decent pics or a statement saying repro or you were an "expert" you could easily be fooled.
I bought mine at a flea years ago but in my hands the most obvious to me was the weight. That's what got me thinking at the beginning. Later and looking closer there were a couple other differences but I mostly remember it seamed too heavy. It was a pretty bottle for $8.
My "book" is out on loan but I believe it was written about in the reproduction chapter.
