Historical flask w/eagle help!

[tfredrich]

I know little about these early flasks. I was hoping someone could identify this version and give me some info on it. It is an olive amber, peppered with tiny seed bubbles, and has a single eagle motif on each side, Here are some pics, Thanks in advance,
Tom

Its a Conventry CT or Keene NH Double eagle, cant remember which right now, and my books are packed... Pretty early flask, from around the mid first half of the 19th century... Beautiful! There not terribly rare, but you do not see them very often now a days...

Dont remember what they go for, someone will chime in... I was thinking around 500

I think that $300.00 or less should buy it

Isnt that the same one as on ebay?

Hello guys,
Yes I listed the bottle on Ebay last night. I needed some direction for my description and with your help, I was able to zero in on it being a GII-71, and from Coventry Glass Works in Connecticut. It came in to our local antique shop in a box of stuff from an elderly lady who was cleaning out her attic, and basement. A true attic bottle. I hope it does well.
Tom
