Likely a reproduction of the original Coffin & Hay flask, this piece embodies the design and spirit of 19th-century glasswork. The design, reminiscent of the Eagle-Flag flask produced at the Coffin & Hay glassworks in Hammonton, New Jersey, circa 1836-1847, features the iconic American eagle and flag motifs, symbols of patriotism and national pride.

The flask boasts a classic olive amber hue, which is considered extremely rare in original specimens. The ribbed sides and round body give the flask a distinct, textured look that emphasizes the elegance of early American glass manufacturing. The eagle, perched proudly on a shield with sun rays radiating from its head, and the American flag unfurled beside it, reflect the powerful symbols of the young nation.

This flask, possibly an early 20th century reproduction by New Jersey based Clevenger Bros., is a beautiful tribute to the historical flasks that were once part of the American landscape. The craftsmanship and design quality of this piece make it a perfect addition to any collector’s collection of early American glass or patriotic memorabilia. See less
