Found a gorgeous very early Applied Blob Lip, Aqua Colored very Deep and Open Sharp Pontil Chestnut Flask ( Will be taking some better pics tommorrow in the light)
Its very nice globular no damage just a tiny scratch on one side less than a inch long, Long bubble/drip on the neck aswell.

Its very nice I would like maybe 275-350 I will be listing it soon I'm sure but, the last one I saw similar to this one sold for 290 ish and it was 2" shorter than this one which is right about 9" tall if you need more details or want to make an offer please feel free to contact me ANYTIME will be getting better lighted pictures later today!
Thanks Alot!

Nice bottle about 1785 to 1800, Could be Amelung in Maryland, Stiegel from Pennsylvania,or Heston and Carpenter Southern New Jersey. The blow pipe type of empontiling has me leaning towards Amelung in Maryland. You should be able to get your asking estimate and maybe more. Nice find. Aaron the lip on the bottle wouldn't be applied it would be called a rolled lip where the gaffer rolls the finished top of the neck outwardly with out a Taper tool.

RE: 9 Hours Left, Price Low, Great Condition

Hi Aaron, meant to send you a message. In the future it would help you to end your bottles at 10-11pm East Coast time, alot of bidders like to wait until the last second to bid and with your's ending so late you may not get everyone who was going to bid in on it...

Thanks Jim I really gotta get used to doing that Its just hard to do it because I'm defintely more of a night owl and it sold for 177.50 Well Under what it should have but oh well I can live with that considering what I got it for. I just hope the buyer is happy it is a nice piece for sure 300$ would have been a lot nicer though ;) they snipe bid on the auction with 5 seconds left anyways!

I think you can set your auction to start/end anytime you want when you upload but there may be a fee involved.
Are you using turbo lister to generate auctions?

I think $177.50 for an aqua chestnut is a good price for you the seller as I have had the chance to buy them quite often for $125ish. If it had some color, It would have brought more.
