I would LOVE to say I dug this bottle but, no, I picked it up at a local auction yesterday. It's called a "Shield and Clasped Hands" flask, sometimes referred to as "Union and Clasped Hands", made circa 1860s. One of several varieties of this design made by various early glassmakers. It has a small lip chip but otherwise looks great for a bottle some 150+ years old. The best thing about it was the price: $7!
