A couple of weeks ago I stopped in at a local resale store and saw this "Union & Clasped Hands" 1870s flask. It is classified as GIX-XII in the bottle books. Many variations and makers. Not rare but a nice old historical flask.
Here's the thing: They must have thought it was a repro as they priced it at $3.00. I thought "man! That sure looks old to me, it has all the signs of old glass" so I bought it. I bounced it off some others on a bottle forum to get their opinions and they concur. So it shows you never know when you'll run across a treasure, usually when you least expect it.
