What a great thread....I don't feel so bad after looking at all the pics (hstorical flasks, amazing colors, etc)..I have two stories:
When I was a kid (in the 70's) another kid whose Dad did construction told me he had uncovered some glass on a job. I went there, saw the freshly raised, dozered roadbed and walked along the base. First I found an intact Atwoods Jaundice Bitters lying right on the leaves where it had rolled down. Then I saw a beautiful green 3-piece mold that had rolled into a rock and lay there in pieces. (never occurred to me to keep the pieces and glue).....The other: I found an aqua Elliman's Royal Embrocation for Horses, Manufactury Slough, England..and sold it to my Dad (probably got a few bucks) for his office..and later visited him to see he had used a glasscutter and made a freakin PENCILHOLDER out of it.
i just found these last week.....i would be happy with a whole one with cracks.....i guess the hunt is half the fun and im having fun hunting one of these down...ill get you yet dispensary
