See more about 'SPRING GARDEN GLASS WORKS~ AQUA..1860s..MINT- CRUDE $$' Description         .................Hi, You certainly will not be gambling if you win this 1860's ~SPRING GARDEN GLASS WORKS~ Whiskey Flask !! This a GXIII-58 in "MINT" condition. I have seen a few examples  here on e-bay proclaiming that there Flask is in mint condition and at the end of the paragraph they mention an open bubble, or a couple of pin point dings, or some case wear  a few scratches on the outer surface, or just a little ding on the lip, etc,etc...Well this Flask has absolutly NONE of these issues....NO cracks, bruises , dings, base wear , high-point wear, fish eyes not even base wear...  What it does have is super strong embossing on both sides, a very pretty bluish aqua for color, a smooth bottom very close to being pontiled, and tons of little small bubbles with a few large longgated ones. Excellent stretch marks on the neck and a very crude top with extra glass that has, when the glass was a  liquid, slid down the neck....This "CRUDE" top is tooled with an applied ring with a really neat whitish swirl that goes around the applied ring. It is very unique in the fact that the white swirl appears to be between both sides of the glass....Again, very "CRUDE"....Now this Flask would have had a rating of "MINT ATTIC" but there is a very small amount of Whiskey contents on the inside of the neck and about one inch down into the bottle that should clean out with no tumbling....No Kidding this Flask is a real Sparkler with excellent "EYE-APPEAL"....Please look at my other auctions...thank you...            On Oct-04-08 at 14:02:05 PDT, seller added the following information:I forgot to mention that on one side this Flask has a very defined Anchor conecting the two Banners. The opposite side has a LOG CABIN with smoke coming out of the chimney and a large leafless tree standing next to it. They both have very strong embossing too!!! I really hate to get rid of this awesome Flask but I need the money to get me a very rare "Pikes Peak" bottle...   Good luck bidding..On Oct-04-08 at 18:28:15 PDT, seller added the following information:Hi, This is something else I forgot to mention..This Flask is a PINT , 7 3/4" high X 3 1/2" wide..I guess I would forget my name if it wasn't in my wallet ?!? I also just noticed a very small touch of base wear..(hard to notice)...This should be about everything??..I hope..ha Place a Bid!
