Clevenger Albany Glass flask Lip question.

[cubby01]

This is (I'm fairly sure) a Clevenger 'Washington-Albany Glass works/Sailing Ship' flask. The base has a circular depression in the center. The top is ground flat.

My question is this top finish intentional from the factory? Was there supposed to be an applied/tooled lip? Did someone cut the top off and finish it flat? It just looks odd.

And of course I'd like to know if it's worth anything LOL.

Thanks, -Buck

I think that is the way they were intended to look. Designed to look sort of like the early sheared lip flasks I guess.
