Here's one that I dug last summer that didn't fare so well. I don't know the number of it but it has a banjo player on one side and a dancer on the other. I'm pretty sure that I hit it with the probe as I was searching for the privy. That is why one shouldn't probe any extra holes in the ground once a privy has been located. To date, I have never found a whole historical flask. This probably would have been my 1st. I dug 19 broken historical flasks on this one property alone. You bought a good one there. If I don't find a whole one soon, it looks like that's what I'll be doing soon.

John Lee Chapman was a very interesting guy he started out as a druggists and then became a glass agent then manufacture of glass in the early 1850s then by the civil war he was Mayor of Baltimore City. I have a signed letter of his around someware from while he was mayor .
