SPENCER...I'll take some pix of my Clevenger alongside an MMA flask. That way, you can make a better comparison...

Generally speaking, the MMA flasks are smaller & more delicate...even though ALL the glass artisans were following in the tradition established by Stiegel.

This little MMA flask sure does glow brightly under UV blacklight. :)

I thought I'd share a few pontil marks. Notice the Pairpoint and MMA etched names. The other MMA is very difficult to see!

You can find a nice variety of colors to collect.

This is not marked MMA and is a smooth bottom, no pontil scar.
I'm still researching the maker for this type.
They do add interest to my collection, though.

Not a flask, but this little MMA perfume sits proudly in my collection.

Bordensprings, Ala. or Esom Hill, Ga.
this isnt an expert opinion or anything....but i am going to say that those two "non- M.M.A." flasks are clevengers because while doing some research on mine i saw one in a nice shade of ice blue(?) sporting that "straight looking (rather than slightly flared)" sheared top

BTW my emerald one is pontiled it is either a "chipped pontil" or an open pontil that the middle of the glass didnt break loose like it was supposed to...
