Yellow Amber Strap Side Flask—How Rare Are These?

[RelicRaker]

I almost never find yellow-amber bottles intact. Pulled this strap side out of an ash pile today. Lots of bubbles. Mold scar (no pontil). Any clue as to the rarity of these?

Base...

I've never come across one before. I have clear, aqua and amber. Your bottle, IMHO, is not ordinary. Whomever the manufacturer was, they had to have money. The color of the glass is very telling and they certainly had the confidence to create that color and to be able to sell it. May have been a higher end whiskey in there.

Thx Slugplate! Makes sense—that color took some skill to make and came at a premium. My only other yellow-amber bottle is a Dyottville Glass Works liquor bottle but it has a base chip.

I have a color run of strap flasks I’m working on and that color is definitely an uncommon one.

I've had citron but not true yellow. Can't tell true color on my computer screen sadly. Is it yellow yellow or citron yellow?

[yacorie]

Is that cleaned up or have you cleaned it since?

If you decide you want to sell or trade it - let me know

Seems more citron, definitely some green in there. Will try and post some daylight shots if the sun ever returns. lol
