I have looked through a bit of your site but haven't found this type of flask? bottle? or whatever. it is. It is very grotty, not the lovely clear glass that I have seen from your other readers' questions.
We used to prospect for gold out Kalgoorlie and Sandstone way and would find this sort of wear and discolouration in bottles found left behind on the goldfields.
We found this in a garage sale recently and were attracted to it for it's unusual shape. Can anyone identify this and give us some idea of its value.
What a great site! and it has restirred our memories of digging in the field never knowing what one may find. Our digging days are over but it is fun to search at garage sales as well.
This glass is about 1 foot (30cm) long and 1&1/2 inches (3-4cm) thick. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It has no markings of any kind except for the lines right down both sides and across the bottom, with the neck added, I believe. Also the bubbles, of course.
I took note of the suggestion of shining a light through from behind to give a clearer view.
Thank you!
