New Flask and Display

[JustGlass]

I found this crude 1/2 pint yellow-olive strapside flask for $10.00 while out shopping for another display cabinet. This bottle has a wicked sucked in front and back, crooked neck , crazy crude top that looks like the bottle maker threw it on from about five feet away. Very strange old looking textured glass with nice bubbles.

Heres the display case I found in the same shop. I was shopping for a new curio cabinet but couldn't find one that was anywhere near affordable so I bought this old refinished case for $202.00 Its not lighted but maybe I can rig something up. This baby is huge and should hold a bunch of glass.

looks like you did a great job shopping! sweet crude flask, and an outstanding cabinet for $200. very nice job on the refinish, and like you said, plenty of room for glass. i'm sure you can get plenty of experience in here on ways to install lighting. thanx for sharing your photos.

JustGlass, after seeing that nice case I noticed all the dust on my bottles and how many of mine I had packed away because of no where to put them.I really like that display cabinet. You can't enjoy the beauty of an old flask or med bottle when it's packed away. I really need to find something also. Jim

Looks like there is room for a few more shelves. If you use plate glass, the light will spread or dispurse better. I know, it doesn't go with the look of the cabinet, but will make bottle displaying much better.
