Do you know how it exploded and how much damage there was in general? I've found similar stuff over where a divider was formed between a lake, lake, and creek. Also, let me extend my paw to you in greetings to this wonderful forum.

No one truly knows for sure. It was said to be a furnace. Something to do with the union glass blowers were on strike and the factory took a tumble because natural gas was discovered in PA soo it was sabotaged.

And thank you glad to have found such a great forum!

Most I agree with but the after post may be of big interest. While many people are anti tobacco the are some that really want the early 1900's stuff and that's a beautiful piece.
That's one pack, I happen to find two! And some old caps

One has no seams at all looks to be blown and says reserved just below the neck and one full pint below that and get this, the cork is still in it.

Nice finds and good to have you on board. This one is called a strap-side flask and does have "seams" or mold lines. If you look at the side view, the seam runs down the left side of the strap. The lipping tool all but obliterated the seam on the neck, except for just a nub right at the juncture of the neck and shoulder. Your finds may not be worth a heap (like everything I find), but I'd still be tickled to find them.
