Beautiful! Congrats on getting it for a good price. It is still possible to snag a good deal on eBay once in a while if you look for them (or get lucky) [] Historical flasks are one of the most interesting categories of bottles in my opinion. Jim

Nice flask, and that was a good price. It's a GXII-2, the "only clasped hands flask attributed to an eastern glasshouse".

The aqua historical flasks are a good deal these days, even the common ones, because with ebay I think they'll only get scarcer as new people start building collections.

Thanks Sean....I scored the flask for $60 (plus shipping). I thought that was a fairly reasonable price. I would prefer toscore them at flea markets or yard sales (tag sales) for $40...but we all know that doesn't happen very often. Most people know these flasks are worth something and will get you for...at the very least... $60-$80 for them. I am really getting hooked on their historical beauty.
