Antique 19th C. Flegenheimer Amber Embossed Flask NY NJ Liquor Bottle Scarce

A Flegenheimer Antique Amber Blow Mold Embossed Bottle. The Flegenheimers were NYC wine merchants with locations in NY and NJ; Hoboken and Newark.

They commenced in 1876 and was still doing business in 1919. Generations later (today), one family member resurrected the business in Australia. This bottle is extremely scarce.

I found only one reference to this bottle in a NJ Bottles Webpage forum; an example found while on a dig. Otherwise, good luck finding another one. The condition is essentially perfect, with no chipping, iridescent coloring, or interior problems. At best, there looks to be a slight inner flaw to the bottom corner that has no signs of exterior damage -- I'm guessing it has to do with the blow mold process. One side is a bit thinner than the other side; the glass thickness is not uniform, and mainly shows darker down the middle; the sides are lighter in color. I'd say light amber with darker areas is the best assessment -- you can see through the bottle. The base has the number "894" and with a slight oval around that. Slight sediment on the interior. There's an inclusion on the tip of the top that. Also, one cool-looking stretched bubble on the side of the bottle, but otherwise, not too many other bubbles are present. Sad to see this one go.
