GIII-7 Keene Marlboro or Coventry Connecticut glass works.

[Steve/sewell]

Here is the GIII-7 Keene Marlboro or Coventry Connecticut glass works made Cornucopia/Urn.The flask is a half pint in size,mostly green with an olive hue in color.The bottle has three medial rib's and a nice pontil.The bottle is listed as common by Mckearin but is getting increasingly harder to come by with the passing of the years.This bottle was given to me by my wifes grandfather in 1985.He was an antique collector and gave me quite a few good bottles.This bottle is in mint condition with the only drawback being that it has to wear corrective panyhose type discs on its base so it can stand upright.It is also a very heavy bottle for it's size.This bottle was made between 1828 and 1840 at these two glass worksBring em on Mike,Jeff I know you guys have them!!Mike after you read this post check out the Travelers Companion post also, you might find it a bit interesting.

Number 3 The uneven base is the only drawback.These little discs are nice as they are clear and less obtrusive then the cloth backed brown rubber discs.
