2 New Brunswick, NJ Amber Flasks

[KBbottles]

This month has been an incredible one for acquiring new bottles. These two were provided to me from a friend and previous collector crazy for local New Brunswick, NJ pieces. Isaac Fell and George Leach amber flasks. The Leach is a bit lighter in color with almost an orange tint. Two of my personal favorites!!

Nice looking strap sides. I wish my town had atleast 1 strap flask, but neither of the two local whiskey dealers used them [&:]

Nothing better than local amber flasks! Very attractive examples, Ken. Great finds!

I know nothing about flasks from your area but those are SWEET. Could those two have been made in the same mold? It looks like a possibility to me.

Actually, they both have the number 202 on the base

I think it would be very interesting to compare the common lettering on those two and determine if in fact they are from the same mold. Seems likely with the same number on the base and if so I personally think that would be a FANTASTIC feature.

It's also interesting that they were dug within the same vicinity of each other many years ago. I think 3 of each example were found on a construction site.
