Steve, Thank you - I sure do like the way you present things to us for study and I hope I can go back to them when I want to. RED Matthews

Good point Red. This forum is convienant for presenting information to many people but it lacks a lot in later access and seachability. Steve's posts getting lost is a good example.
Steve , do you have a website where all this good info can be archived for easier access?


Have to say on those 1st three flasks if I squint my eyes I can imagine they say Baltimore Glass Works[] Who copied who there?

Once again great job steve.I have learned alot reading your posts and want to thank you for taking the time to share this well of information.

Thanks surfaceone,here are two aerial photos.
The first one is what the area of New Brooklyn looks like today.
The second picture is the same one except I have added the roads
that were there in 1850 in red.The glass works location is also marked
with a red square and a black x.When the Atlantic City expressway
was widened a lot of glass was found during the excavation.
George Marshall,s Saw mill is also shown in red.The canal that was used
is shown in baby blue running from the pond at the mill to the lake.

Thanks for the nice compliments everyone,Gunther they are very similar and show the same work of the same mold maker.
Gunther is referring to the GXIII 48 and 49 Baltimore Anchor and pennant flasks which look exactly the same.
Here is the same picture touched up in paint showing the layout of the old town of New Brooklynn.

Could you imagine a seven point intersection today,what a nightmare that would be with left turn lanes,
and 4 traffic light cycles.
