I thought I post a few photos of a tear drop pocket flask
I just added to my collection. The type of glass is
Chalcedony glass. It came from a early collection, you
can see the old collection sticker on the neck. Chalcedony
glass was developed by the early Venetian glass blowers.
There was a rebirth of Chalcedony glass in the northern
European regions during the mid 19th century. I have been
told this particular flask is from that northern region.
I am still doing a little research myself in attempts to validate
its area of manufacture.
