Heya gang, have not been on in a longgg time, been sick, and hurt and other things, but, back in the loop.

Found this little stunner at a shop for $4.00...I ran to the counter and bought it.
Applied top, top leans and looks about circa 1880-1890
BIM with cut glass.
Any thoughts on this one? It has a round space in the front, for a label i would say.
Bottom is blank.
But my gawd...I flipped when I found this.
Value? Maker? help!

Fairly Common as I've seen them numerous times. Never labeled though. I found one years back that had been tossed in the hole of a tree. Years later when the tree rotted and fell I found the flask inside.

I wanna say it's a Jamaica Ginger, I "think" I've seen one before with a label and that's what it was. I might be totally off base but I'm going to do some searching and see if I can find where I saw that.

Not sure but I think it may have been a labeled Hayner flask which are local to you.I would say ca.1900,value $8-$12 or so.
