I like the scroll flasks, as well as most all bottles for that matter. I like the color of the one you have posted as well. I have one pretty much that same color that is opened pontiled. Also love the crudity of all the earlier bottles.
If someone were to say to me I had to pick just a certain type of bottles I have for keepers and would have to get rid of the rest of them, I would have a nervous breakdown in trying to decide what catagory of bottles I would want to keep.

I have no idea as to the value of the bottle, still have not made it to the library to try and find any info on it. I was told by a member of the forum it might be worth around two to three thousand. I would think it would have to be in a specific book of some kind covering flasks. Will let you know if I can find out anything definite about it. But then again, what is anything worth, regardless of what a book may state concerning any item in general.

Hey you guys; Reading all of these concerns about colors and their identity made me think of a chart that I have in one of my many notebooks. It was put together by an jar seller: hoosierjar (6678) on eBay. I will look for it tomorrow if I can fit it in. I think he runs a good jar marketing set-up. Besides this color irradiating and flash coloring on antique glass just fries my skillet and makes me sizzle. There must be some good color work that has been done, that I just don't know about.

Hello Red , I have watched Hoosierjars auctions quite a few times , he has some of the nicest and most beautiful jars I have ever seen anywhere . I started collecting in the middle to late seventies , and in my area , I never did come up with any great jars as the ones this Gentleman comes up with nor seen any either for that matter . I always thought that strange that there were none coming to the surface in my area . The town I was raised in was founded in 1833 , seems there should have been a lot or at least some of them here and there in that space of time .
