ITEM 7571. HORSEMAN - HOUND,
(McK# GXIII-17), light to medium salmon pink, smooth base, pint,
applied double collar, a mint bottle with some minor wear at
the high points. Probably blown at the Baltimore Glass Works,
Baltimore, MD, C. 1870, extremely rare color.
A bottle collecting friend once defined "good color"
as something that could be seen from across the room. In this
instance the color is good enough to be seen not only across
the room but across a DARK room! Primarily "pink" with
some tones of salmon or apricot, this exceptional flask is one
of only a handful known in this color. The mold impression is
superb and the glass exhibits some crudity with a pleasing array
of differently sized bubbles. This is a previously unrecorded
example from an old-time collection. Not many folks can claim
to have any bottle in this color much less a figured flask!
