In the seventies I bought and sold many pieces of blown glass , some of it just simply beautiful . I had no idea as to who made it or of any of its age and actual value . If I could buy it cheap , I would buy it , and in turn I would sell it cheap as well , for little profit . Makes me wonder if I may have had some killer pieces at one time or another during all of that .

63 Two very historical bottles The Firecracker flask,Washington/Eagle. Dyott changed the bottle by adding engraving to the medial ribs when Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died on the same day July 4th 1826 50 years to the day of the signing of the Declaratioon of Independence.The other is one of the most historical and rare bottle's in America made at the Saratoga mountain works in 1840 the bottle is from the Tippecanoe Northwood Presidential campaign of Willian Henry Harrison.Smaller then I had thought it was.
