Now I wait with bated breath awaiting news it is a win for today. Then I will decide what to do with the seller. She has others. One is a clevengers bros. I think Ben Franklin on it.... she had a darkish Jenny Lind and another one I really thought may be real, it was a cornacopia flask, I believe. It too had the same bottom as this one but it had a line through the middle of the bottom.

Pikes Peak has it's own catagory GXI-1 through 54. I still say real. Early Clev's are great too. The 30's pontil stuff is desireable also.

JOEL...definitely NOT a repRo...but an authentic Pikes Peak. AS for McK#, that is usually based upon the details of the Prospector as most had a similar "Pittsburgh Eagle" embossing on theObverse.
The base mold seam is what I usually/used to call a "hinge mold" seam ...and the flask was held for finishing by a snap case.
GREAT BUY !
Check out the Cornucopia and the Jenny Lind....both could be the real deal. Before buying, take some pix and post em....Maybe we could better advise....

Cornicopia was reproduced but not widely. Jennys were. Usually if it has a 2 story building, it's real. Buyt them all for $5 each and I'll give you $10 sight unseen!!! Hows that sound!!!LOL[sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif]
Oh, plus shipping of coarse.

I have to agree with you Joel, looking at the bottom, that sure looks like a fake pontil to me, but then too, in all my years of collecting, I have never heard fo a repro Pikes Peak. Lord only knows today though, seems everything out there is beong reproduced in one way or another.
