Ok you flask people.. What does the C mean in CB on repo flasks? B is for Brothers, but the C is not Christian (Brothers, makers of fine brandy)I'm having a major brain fart. Anyway, this may be a rare novelty as I have never seen one, and it has been getting some attention.

'Twould be the Clevenger Brothers, who were down in South Jersey. Lots of info online about them. Just let all the brain farts out... You'll feel better.

Made in a Clevenger mold by Gilson & Sons Glassworks, Clayton, NJ. They purchased most of the Clevenger tools & molds a few years back. They are now making specialty & commemorative bottles & flask.

Thanks....been holding that fart in for days now..... pressure is all gone now. [8D]
(of course, if I had only read the description....I would have never asked the question. I just figured it was another "WOW it has to be old and worth a fortune" add, so I didnt bother.)

Looks like it has roots in a scroll flask mold...
