Hi, I came across this flask, "Warranted Flask Bianchi Wine 261 Main St. Orange NJ". It's embossed, and not perfectly see through glass. I don't know if it was colored when it was made, or from over the years. I only know that "Warranted Flasks" like this with a local establishment's name embossed in the middle are more sought after than the regular "Warranted Flasks" that don't have a local name. I am looking to see what I can do with it, open to offers. I prefer to sell it as I'm honestly not an avid bottle collector. Not sure what it's worth. Great condition. Cleaned it out gently. Looks like 1 or 2 little "hairline" fractures by the mouth piece.

That is a nice flask, it's final value will be determined by how much someone is willing to pay you for it. I suggest eBay. Start low and let it go. A local (New Jersey) collector will know what it's worth. Jim

Thank you for the advice, do you think I should auction it for 7 days or list it as a buy-it-now?

Typically it's a $25-40 flask in perfect condition, possibly $50 because of the SCA, the cracks in the lip hurt the value though.

It's fine to use Buy It Now if you know the value or how much you would be happy to get. If you don't know it's value a straight 7 day auction seems best. You can start high and work down if it doesn't sell or just start at the very minimum you would take and let it ride. I prefer the latter in most cases and after 3 re-lists, (if it doesn't sell) I put them on a shelf and try again later. Jim
