Any information on this bottle/flask would be appreciated. It is a thick white glass and seems to be crudely made. The ruffled top is not evenly made and it doesn't sit very flat. It looks very old. Thanks for your help!
Also, that is marked "ALBANY GLASS WORKS" not "NEW ALBANY GLASS WORKS" .
Incidentally, there are a few bottles in existence marked "NEW ALBANY GLASS WORKS" on the bottom, but they are totally unrelated, from the 1860s-1870s, and made by a bottle maker once operating in New Albany, Indiana.
While we're at it, there's also an extremely rare half-pint historical flask with an eagle, banner overhead, oval underneath on the obverse, like those posted by Mayhem under Display and Photographing a few weeks ago. On the reverse however, it reads "C.T. Bond/Merchant & Trader/New Albany, Miss." Smooth base with two examples known, one yellow, one more of an amber, supposedly found in the same hole by an old man working on a fence long ago. Both stained, but who cares? I've held the yellow one many years ago. Hell of a bottle.
