Stoddard double eagle with half leaf for sale

[cowseatmaize]

I hate to do it but I have checks need clearing. This is (hopefully to be was) a prized possession.Like the title says.It has lip to shoulder cracks and maybe some glue was used but the half leaf I think offsets that. One of a kind for sure. $175 shipped priority to US only.I'll throw in the Stoddard, base embossed cone ink, also damaged by small lip chip and a crack. Under a loop I still can't tell if it goes further and can't get a proper picture. Large X and a 500, or 200, maybe S00 or something is just backward.[8|] Good hole filler for your collection. Also a Antique Glass Bottles-Their History and Evolution 1500-1850 by Willy Van Bossche. $80 media shipping. It's the bay not but I won't net the same price after fees and I'd be happy to cancel it.

I sold the ink. How about $125 for the flask and $70 for the book?

How about $75 for the flask?

I would like to have the flask, because of the pinched glass half leaf and the flask that it is. It is a trough time of the year right now = because we are getting ready to migrate with the geese. I will check back with you in a couple weeks Eric and see if the flask and the book are still available. Or you could give me a CALL 941-993-6650. RED M

Adding to your flask, I've also got a Stoddard NH, Granite Glass Co. embossed double eagle pint with the same "leaf". From what I can see, it's actually a tool mark possibly due to glass getting thin? It's weird for sure. A green cornucopia_urn pint of mine exhibited a similar stab mark, and has junk throughout the glass.

PAT I want to get in touch with you. I have tried - so this is another try. I wrote up a what I thought was a mechanical explanation for these leaf type marks. The write up got a lot of feed back and the continued study convinced me that these flat leafs of glass were form the hot glass parison being pinched in the closed mold for the final blow, and the bottle blowinjg team opened the mold to rlease pinched glass and then the mold was closed again around the parison and the final blow making the bottle - but the half leaf was coverd by the parison blow-out to the mold wall, encasing the half leaf form on the bottles surface. Since then I have felt guilty about the action, but from my mold shop experienceI knew that milling cutters were used in mold cavity correction to mill out where the metal could be welded back in - and the mold surface worked back to the form wanted. I have now collected other pieces of glass work with the half leaf form in them. I would like to buy yours if you want to put it in my collection. Check my yome page - if you havent already done it. I have collected glass for 77 years +/ and I have a couple thousand investments. I don't need any more, but things follow me home. I have concentrated on only hand blown glass for several years now. Trying to study the marks of how the bottle glower accomplished his product.
There is a lot to it. Ane I have about three hundred items in this little den. My early studies concentrated on Mineral Water Bottles, Anchient Age Gins, and glass items that couldn't be made fast enough to meet the demand for them. I look forward to hearing from you.
