This would put any chemistry set that I had growing up, to shame....[]

Joe and Laur, thank you for the show!! I gotta drag my butt up there one day.. and when nobody's looking, I'll bring order to that flask collection, and take one as commission.. the lightning stopper on the Booz was a weird-out!! [>:]

One last aside here,....Credit and thanks where it's due! Thank you to Steve Sewell-bottleman who sparked the idea for this roadtrip!...Little did I know earlier in the weekend, that I'd be viewing that Tippecano/Northbend bottle in person that I was asking Steve and Mike about in a different thread! Thank you
Joe

Nice job Joe and Laur,great pictures tons of historic glass.
You dont remember seeing this bottle there this is the only one known of this Booz variant.
The bottle was in their collection 4 years ago when I was there.

The Coffin and Hay flask in color is very nice but the aqua example can be found at any show and they are obscuring the far more important GII-57 and GII-58 flasks. I officially have my dander up again. The collection needs to be rearranged, period. Any help other forum members could provide (with well intentioned notes and/or suggestions) would be much appreciated. My thanks in advance for your efforts!

Steve,....Did not see it nor even know that it existed![] I was going to add that it probably would have been in with the other booz bottles, but I'm not so certain...Anyhow it's very cool and rare!...I'd be happy with a blown aqua Warners someday....(My budgets version of the aqua Booz!)[] Tanks again everyone....

Jeff,...Could we do some sort of cybermailing, from or through the forum,....After all,..this is the premier bottle forum, and with such a powerful userbase we might get some results!.....Just a thought[]....Joe

Joe I forgot about this one,it is also one of the top 5 American made bottles and one of our oldest.
Richard Wistar had this bottle made for himself.There are two other RW bottles like this but they are diffrent
in color and size.They also are extremely rare but they are in the Dupont museum in Greenville Delaware.

That is one ultra-amazing bottle,...beautiful color too......I'm out of my comfort zone here,....but what era(s) are we talking?

..... late 1700's,....early 1800's? I suppose if I did my homework, and refreshed my history dates I could give it a closer guess....earlier yet?....[&:] Thank you for the ongoing interesting info! Joe

Joe, Richard inherited the Wistarbugh glass works from his father Caspar in 1752.
The bottle was probably made between 1752 and 1782 when the works closed.
