Purple Glass General Washington bottle

snabz14

I have a purple glass bottle that has "General Washington" with his picture on the front and the back has the Eagle with Olive Branch in his beak and 9 stars above sitting on an oval outlined in divots. There is detailing around both sides and there is a seam on both that goes up to the lip of the bottle. The bottom has swirls and the # 1 on the right hand side. Found it in the garage of our old apartment and figured I'd see what it was about.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Everyone would want this to be a real 19th century historical flask because if it were, it would be worth a small fortune. But, alas, it is not.

This is a modern, machine made replica of sorts - perhaps imitation is better since it does not closely adhere to an original mold detail.

These modern bottles are collectible - you will find them selling on ebay but not for much - perhaps $5-$15
