Antique 1783-1820/50? mouth blown Beautiful Amber Chestnut flask.A Small American 'Chestnut' Flask, probably New England, circa 1783-1820,I'm in LOVE with this bottle! It is absolutely beautiful! No chips/cracks, very minimal scratch marks. The bottle is relatively symmetrical but does have a tilt to the neck and is somewhat bulging towards the upper portions of the sides of the neck. There are no sharp lines to the bottle, just rounded corners and features. This bottle does have a blowpipe or "open" pontil scar on the base. It also has slightly indented sides, allowing the holder to grab easily. The blowpipe style pontil scar puts the date of this bottle as no later than approximately 1860-1865 and does indicate that it could date back to 1800 or even before. The overall crudity of the bottle would indicate a manufacturing time on the earlier end of this range. Thus, our (SHA website) Dating key derived age range for this bottle is 1800 to 1860, with a high likelihood of dating prior to 1850.9" tall x 5.5" wide x 3.5" at the widest point. I'm not a glass bottle expert. I'm just doing research online and posting what I think fits for the bottle.
