A surprise ebay auction this past week served up a honey amber GI-94 flask which closed at a record price for this mold – $28,334. The flask is marked with BENJAMIN FRANKLIN and his bust on the front and T.W. DYOTT, M.D. along with WHERE LIBERTY DWELLS THERE IS MY COUNTRY / KENSINGTON GLASS WORKS PHILADELPHIA along with Thomas Dyott’s bust on the reverse. This pint flask is not a rare mold but this color is not often encountered. We believe this to be a record price for this mold by a very long margin.
See the auction of this flask here.
I have a GI-94 of the Dyott and Franklin with inscriptions. The color is clear and I can not find any information on the clear flask. Any ideas where to research? Value?
Thank you in advance
