The seller, who was from Kansas, listed a number of historical flasks, but this one was by far the best. It exceeded our estimate and may have set an auction record for this mold when it closed at $11.700, the result of 61 bids

We thought, when first seeing the thumbnail image online, that it was the work of Dog River Glassworks, the now defunct manufacturer of reproduction bottles.  On examination of the photos, it quickly was apparent that this was no reproduction.  We spoke with one longtime collector who commented that he had not seen one offered for sale in over 25 years.
