RW10. "UNION" / CLASPED
HANDS - EAGLE, (McK# GXII-29), deep orange amber, smooth base,
half-pint, applied mouth with ring, about mint (pinhead-sized
top of lip flake). Blown at a Midwestern Glass Works, 1865-1880.
The large chunk of slag imbedded in the side of this flask is
probably the result of an incomplete mold "clean out"
and it is a wonderful feature that lends this piece a unique
character.
