Damaged Historical Flask Question and Pic.

[Bottleman]

Here is a Willington Glass Co West Willington Conn. flask that I dug and glued back together. It has a nice picture of an eagle on the front and stands 9 inches high. There was about 10 pieces that I had to glue back together and it was hard to tell them apart from the other broken strap side flasks in the hole so I am missing some. Does anyone know if 9 inches is the regular size for this bottle or are they usually smaller. I know it’s not worth anything in its condition but it doesn’t look to bad glued up to me.

That thing would be worth a mint if it was intact...willington is a huge name. Peek through here for ideas...

Kevin, you're right about that flask, heckler's auctions are reserved for FINE specimens, In fact, Tom's looks like the willington that was up on the site you posted.

It definatley resembles the one on page one of the auction as far as the lip, but is Tom's amber or olive?
