I've dug quite a few scroll flask that's what that is and Louisville Kentucky they look just like that they also come in different colors in louiville there's a beautiful yellow scroll and it brings a premium dollar but it's a beautiful bottle some of them are Louisville Kentucky Glassworks 1849 to 1855 and we also have a Louisville Glassworks 1880My uncle has this scroll flask from the early 1800s and I'm trying to identify it from the McKearin classification of flasks.
I don't have the McKearin book sadly, but from my searching, I'm thinking this is a GIX-14 OR a GIX-12, but I can't be certain.
Does anybody have any knowledge on glass flasks, or could confirm my suspicion of it being a GIX-14? I'm pretty sure GIX-14 is a rare mold based on what I've seen them sold for.
I've attached some photos below.
Thanks!
