Flask info

Heres one I pcked up today. No markings to identify it by but I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it or its value. Thanks,
Keith

Where does the seam stop on the neck?

The seam stops at the base of the neck.

I dont know much about flasks but the manufactoring style would seem to date it to the late 19th century.

I'm sorry and I hope I'm wrong but I think it's a more modern repro. The lip looks too thick for Zaneville or the like and the pontil doesn't look right, if it is in fact a pontil that was refired.

Thanks for the replys. Its no big deal if its a repro since I only spent a few bucks on it. Thats how ya learn! I'll be joining the local bottle club soon so hopefully I can learn more than what I can from just books alone. Thanks again,
Keith

It is a repro, but it looks like a Clevenger Brothers repro to me, and they are getting quite collectable. It's also a nice looking window bottle, so for a few bucks I think you did well.
