Shield? Lyre? Louisville (?)Flask, OP,

[cannibalfromhannibal]

Dug this one Friday, my birthday. 61 years and still digging! Anyhoo, I am unfamiliar with this mold. (Guess I ought to invest in a flask guide, but....) I am guessing it is a Louisville flask as the typical eagle is on the other side, and whatever this is. Has the mysterious (to me) 14 stars on both sides. Anyone know significance of 14 stars? Sadly, it is missing half the neck and lip. Am mostly wondering if it is scarce enough to warrant a pro repair. (Depending how picture uploads, it is either what is pictured or is the center bottle, as I tried to crop but didn't appear cropped when shrinking size.) Thanks for any ideas. Jack

now idea why 14 stars... Vermont was the first state added to the original colonies in 1791 making it the 14th state, so I do not think its anything to do with that...
