Old Applied Top Flask

[LaidBackJack]

This is a flask I've had for a long time, but have never learned anything about. I got it because it was an applied top, the color was great, and it was only $5. It's not pontiled, it has a concave circular depression on the bottom, and mold lines up the sides that end at the base of the neck. It's 9" tall, laced with seed bubbles, and really crude. The color is actually more yellow than the pic shows it, but it definitely has an olive cast to it. No embossing or marks of any kind. Does anyone have an idea of the vintage & provenence of this flask? It's a favorite of mine for it's color & form in my window display of bottles.

Could be from the Baltimore Glass Works, they produced alot of glass in that yellow olive tone from 1840-70. Thats a beautiful flask!
