ITEM 7265. EAGLE - MASONIC, (McK#
GIV-24), mossy olive green, tubular pontil scar, half-pint, sheared
and fire polished mouth, a mint flask with some manufacturer's
neck crazing. Blown at the Keene Marlboro Street Glass Works,
Keene, NH, 1830-1850, rare color.
Noticeably thinner and lighter weight than is the norm, this
fine Keene flask is also blown from an unusually beautiful batch
of mossy olive green bottle glass. The impression is quite good
and the piece stands straight and tall rather than wobbling on
the small base like most. There is little, if any, wear at the
high points (perhaps a result of its ability to stand) and no
damage.
