Hi all, I acquired this a few days ago and I cant find one ever to have sold. It a really unique shape and name being an american gin bottle. I know the maker is Lorenz & Wightman of Pittsburgh, but anything else about this piece I cant track down. Being a flask collector i'd like to know if this would be worth selling to fund my scroll collection. Any help would be appreciated!

According to my auction sales guide, one sold through Pacific Glassworks (now American Bottle Auctions) in 2002 for $88.

Storm troopers gin of choice. Great with a twist of lime. Maybe a splash of soda.

In my bottle book Bottled In Illinois that gin bottle is from Chicago. Would you be willing to sell it for a decent price?
