Rarely seen Clevenger made copy of the GII-46

[Steve/sewell]

This is the rarely seen copy of the original GII-46 Cornucopia/Eagle 1/2 pint flask.This flask was made at the Clevenger Brothers works in the 1950s.
The flask has a weak impression just like the Mckearin's spoke about on pages 681 and 682 in American Bottles and Flasks and thier Ancestry.Please do not be fooled by this bottle unless you collect Clevenger made glass.

McKearins is not correct. This was never made by Clevenger.
However it was made by Beacon Glass, Vineland NJ in the 1940's.
An example of the flask and a copy of the Beacon catalog where it appears are on display at the Heritage Glass Museum, Glassboro, NJ.
The flask or one similar to it was made in the 1950's by Collini Glass another small South Jersey glassworks
