Steve,

Well it's about time you posted some real glass! []

Nice pictures... certainly enough to keep us busy for a while. Yes, I have a few comments to add...

4. Jenny Lind / Tree... Not the rarest of historical flasks. There is actually an emerald green one that exists! I would say that the pint size Charter Oak flask... as well as a handful (or two) of others that would be higher on the list from a rarity standpoint. From a desirability perspective... many other flasks would come first.

10. I really don't understand the placement of these... Sunburst flasks in the back, Tippecanoe bottle, and Baltimore flasks in front??? Go figure! By the way, that Sunburst in the rear right is ext. rare (GVIII-4) one of only 2 or 3 known.

12. I have always loved the GIV-16 Eagle Masonic flask. I found half of one of these scuba diving... that will get your heart racing!

20. That large chamber pot in the back is attributed to the Suncook Glass Factory.

22. The Lily Pad chalice piece is actually a sugar bowl on a pedestal... I have a similar one in my collection.

25. Are you interested in an identical bellows bottle? Have any good traders?

46. That Lafayette in the front is a GI-89a... possibly the only known example, or one of two. Great flask! At least they have that one out in the front!

52. I am with you on the "RW" seal... important bottle!

54. Nice Stiegel patterned flasks... but $150,000... I have a nice Diamond Daisy for sale around $8000, yes it is a bargain.

57. New England Glass Company or New England Glass Works? That sure looks like Temple, which was called the New England Glass Works. It doesn't look like a New England Glass Company piece.

64. It is nice to see that they show some respect to the Blue Columbia... she needs her room to let her hair flow. What a beauty!

65. Don't have one. Never had an opportunity, nor could I afford it! Although when there is a will, there's a way.

79. I am sure these are real since they have important provenance, however, they just don't look real to me. The color, forms, and glassblowing techniques look all wrong.

84. Did they just throw darts at a map?? These locations (in New England at least) look all wrong. I would love to see the key that went along with this.

Anyways, thank you for sharing Steve! You photographed some wonderful pieces.

Mike

Item 79 Mike The Wistar blue pieces are very real Elizabeth Morris Wistar had them its well documented.George Mckearin had them for a while and then Mr. Dupont purchased them for his collection at Winterthur.What people dont understand about Wistarburgh was they were in business for 43 years.Hundreds of blue shards were found in one large part of a field at the Wistar glass works site.Included in the pieces found were blue moils which as you know are only found at the place of manufacture.
