This is not the GVII-1 Northbend Flask in Mckearins book. The neck is longer on this one and the GVII-1 flask is over all larger in size. It is not the GVII-2 as that flask has a completely different roof line. Mckearin lists the two Mt Vernon made flasks as in Dark olive amber and dark olive green .I also believe it not related to the Harrison ink listed in Mckearins as the roof is different then the one pictured on page 279 figure 14. The Last one like this flask currently being offered had a cigar like band around the neck and went for over $3,000. I would sure like to have this one in my collection. I believe this flask maybe was a product of the Union Glass Works in Philadelphia as they made flint glass cup plates for the Harrison Campaign. Here is the bottle on eBay.
