I am a newbie to these bottles, found this at salvation Army for 99 cents... hoping im holding a winning lottery ticket here, i know nothing about glass bottles.. I know if this thing is real and not a repro it could be worth alot of money...thanks for any help! and if it is a repro is it worth anything

    Not all winning lottery tickets are jackpots :-( but many of us know the minor satisfaction of making at least a few dollars on a ticket.

    This is a modern piece but they still do trade on ebay in the $5 to 15 range.

    That *would* be a great color in a period flask - we are talking thousands!

    Most collectors associate repros of this bottle with the Clevenger Brothers of New Jersey.

    This one lacks the "DYOTTVILLE GLASS WORKS PHILADA" embossing on the Taylor side so I believe it is a different manufacturer. Tom Haunton's Clevenger Glass book reports that they were made only with a straight lip without tooling.

    It is most likely less than about 40 years old.

    See my Washington Taylor flask page for more info.

    If it has the DYOTTVILLE embossing, what's the history, and how much is it worth?

    Is this one of the series of Lestoil flasks from the 1970s?

    @SlaterTeacher Post some photos - it is the only way for us to know exactly what you have.

    GEN TAYLOR FLASK - I've searched... nothing so far. Seems to be seamless...cannon with cannon balls. No marks on base. There is a air bubble in the shaft of the cannon. Kinda cool! Thoughts?
