Flask time

[JVA5th]

Not sure if these qualify and not really old like the cool stuff on here but what I got, had a light green one but appears someone took it off my hands at some point.

Not sure of all the embossing but they look like "federal law prohibits reuse of this bottle" these are from the mid 1930s to the 60s round about. They definitly fit the flask category. Nice!

I believe these are 1940s nothing special but what I've managed to find. I have a few boxes of bottles from 1920 to 1950s I know nothing about them so they stay in the boxes stored away

Glass is glass and over time you'll be able to ID them. or you can post them up on the bottle thread and folks will give you a hand on dating them.
If machine made just take a photo as well of the bottom to ID the manufacturer and the date codes that might be embossed on the bottle.

Great lil' scroll, Harry. The Chesnut Grove is a great example, too!

Here's a GI-37 that I added the other day.

My only embossed flask... dates to late 1870s.

My best and oldest glass find was a flask that was embossed with a banjo player on one side and a dancing sailor on the other side . Also the only open pontil I ever dug

I see why you have it on the soft bed for protection.
That's a top shelf find in so many ways.
Still waiting to dig my first open pontil bottle.
Lots of shards-never a whole one.
Seems that bricks and rocks are the winners when mix'd

I found a few, and I bought a few. As I have been downsizing all the ones I bought are gone, but after I get back from the vet (need cat food), I'll try to get pics of the ones I have found.

Please do Smokey, love to see some of what you have dug.

The quarter is for sizing.
Next time I'm going up to the shop I will try some better pics.

Those are Outstanding
