    HELP !!!!!

    I may be able to acquire a bottle that I seem to remember being worth some money if it's an original...

    I can't find any info, so I figured this plethora of experts was the place to turn. The bottle itself is a light aqua blue in color and has an eagle embossed in the glass on one side(looks like the eagle from a seated-era coin), the eagle is circled with stars. On the other side I think there was an embossed bust. The whole thing is vaguely shaped like an upside down teardrop, with the point cut off for a flat bottom, and the neck coming out of the wider end. It's a bottle that I have seen pictures of before, I just can't find any when I need to. So.... if anyone could point me in the direction of a good online bottle guide, or has an Idea what I'm talking about, please, PLEASE, let me know. Thanks in advance, I know what the TN "search engine" is capable of
    I noticed that no-one really utilizes all the signature space provided, so I figured to be REALLY original I would make up the longest signature that I could and probably just leave it as one big run on sentence because all that punctuation just takes up way too much space-HH.

    Do a search for "calabash flask" to see if that's what you have.
