The only Flask I ever dug. I odd light green or moss green Broken Pikes Peak with Hunter on the back.

I, too, would have tried to put it back together *sigh*

I am fond of this SWAIM'S bottle:

A Swaim's of that variety is on current wish list Harry. I bid on one in a recent auction
but, as usual, I was outbid in the last few minutes.

the really old aqua Open Pontil examples are awesome, but out of my price range.

Well, good luck in your efforts, Jim! I've never seen a Swaim's bottle that wasn't awesome, even the late versions.

slightly different style of flask

I prefer my flasks to be local and embossed. Dandies, pumpkinseeds, coffins. Here is an unlisted variant with different address numbers slugged in. Picked this one up from Dennis in Pacifica quite a few years ago when this type of Western flask was affordable.IMG_5031.jpg
