Dug a 1870's Trash Pit today with 20 whole Flask & another 10 broken criers. A few Clasped hands & Eagle flask all broken. Here's a pic of one of the Eagle flask shard. Anybody have a picture of a whole one of these? EagleFlask Shard.jpgEagleFlaskShard2.jpg

Lightning bolts being clutched. Search online for images of American Eagle Historic Flask, and you'll see some claws that look like that. not sure which flask in McKearin's list it would be. Probably one of several of similar design. They blew and sold a LOT of eagle flasks.

also most eagle flasks have the arrows held by only one talon or eagle foot, this looks like the arrows are held by both feet, am I right??

That certainly looks like a Pittsburgh area glasshouse double eagle shard to me. Not a GII-106 like my two but close. I'll hunt around a little tonight.
Were the other flasks smooth based (as well) ?

Do you think it was a 1/2 pint or pint?
