Cool flask! There are several modern blue flasks “The American System” online, selling for about $7-$18. Do you have any more details about the find, like age of site, etc?
 
Don't mean to burst your bubble but clearly a reproduction, right down to the fake pontil scar. Been digging bottle for 40+ years and can guarantee what I say is correct.
 
Yeah, most likely a re-pop. But still, a nice colored window bottle. There is definately a place in bottle collecting for these. If one new collector emerges from finding one and gets into collecting it has served its' purpose. I have a Civil War era Scroll flask that I suspect is a remake, but I still display it proudly along with my others.

We need to get out soon! I found an "older" bottle while they were working on the dam on Lake George in Hobart. My back says I need more old bottles! (Coins too!)
