NJ historical flasks Salem oak/ jersey devil.

Robert_M

I wanted to know if anybody knows for sure when this bottle was made. It was made at the Downer glass works in South Jersey. One side has DG Salem Oak and the other side has Jersey devil with the mythical creature. Aqua colored. I have been told it is a reproduction from the 70's some say early 50's others say 1880's. What is the truth? It was acquired from an old collection. I appreciate any and all info. I know all about Arthur Downer his farm and sand but thats about all. Thanks Robert M.

I believe this is a Clevenger bottle. See https://www.botlman.com/jersey_devil/index.album/jersey-devil-salem-oak-commemorative-bottle?i=17
