Re: Two Flask I pick up Ancher flask

I think we already discussed that unusual Anchor flask but it's nice to see it again, even sitting in that precarious position. [8D] I believe it is quite unusual I would like an opportunity if it is ever available.

Re: Two Flask I pick up Ancher flask

Hello Glenn, I started a thread about the same anchor flask 3 days ago that I also just picked up. There is some great information that was added by some great members. If you go back to page 15 and see the thread I started titled ( amber flask date ? ) You can read the replies so members don't have to post the same information twice. Nice find Glenn, hope this helps..... Kevin....

Re: Two Flask I pick up Ancher flask

Thanks Kevin for the update on the information from the previous post. I missed that one. This is crazy but I payed $8 for my flask also. [8D] It was in a shop in the back by it self out place kinda. Have you or anyone seen the Old Tennessee Club. It may be common but I like the embossing on the front.

Thanks Jim, I am starting a Flask collection to go with my others so I will keep it for a while. I will let you know if I do sell it.

Re: Two Flask I pick up Ancher flask

HERE'S the link and a side by side to show the angle.[attachment=anchorflasks.jpg]There are a lot of anchors, angles, sizes and colors to make a great collection of just those.Although they are called Baltimore Glass Works they were more likely when it was Baker Brothers 1870-1905, same works but different names and owners over 100+ years.Other glass works probably made them too.

Very interesting with the anchor angles. I didn't really know there was but I am new to the Flask collecting and have much to learn. Thanks for the follow up Eric. I will start to collect flask with different angles. [;)]

Hello Glenn, Does you flask have a smooth back or a ridge line that looks like a tombstone on the back ? Mine has the tombstone look on it, not sure what they call that ? I have seen 4 others that all have the smooth back. Just curious thanks. If anyone knows why some flasks have this marking, Please let me know. Thanks , Kevin...
