I alwasy thought the Franklin was worth a little more....

My two cents (again)... As with any bottle or flask I would argue that the value depends greatly upon such factors as mold impression, color, condition, character, etc. I've sold mint or near mint examples of this flask for as little as $250 (with poor impressions, minor damage and/or wear) and superlative examples for $500 to $1000. Simply stated, I think that each example needs to be considered on a case-by-case basis rather than ascribing a "set value" for every bottle or flask blown in a given mold.

thanks for the help jeff and lobey . that guy sure has some nice bottles for sale and it seems like he droped them down to a verry reasonable price after a short time . im just a little leary about being the first one to buy one of the better ones .i think ill give it a little more time and see what happens .

No disagreement here Lobey - I simply wanted to make the point that the "value" of individual examples can vary rather dramatically, even if they are blown in the same mold.
