Great looking flask you recovered. Thanks for sharing it with us. Query did you recover anything else from the creek?

A few odds and ends through the past 45 years.

Hey Bart, Outside artifact garden? Sounds pretty cool, can you put up a pic showing more of it? Another benefit of the Keys, up here in New England everything would freeze and break! lol

The iridescent is coming along great Bart on the flask. It makes for an interesting look, as some reference them as sick glass along with other names.
On certain bottles it looks great-then again on some it took the beauty away it seemed.
That was only apparent when the 2 were placed side by side.
I really like the garden idea, seen some in AZ also, and they really looked cool in the right settings.

I think these two bottles date to the late 1700s.

Did you dig these 2, or were they a purchase?

If it's not a late reproduction, and I think it's not, it could be 18th or 19rh Century. Check it out yourself: Fakes | saddleflasks.com
