Wm Jackson & Co / Distillers, / Dockhead, London. Spirits Whisky 4 oz, Black, pumpkinseed flask. 167 mm. 1850s
Very Good. The upper lip where it flares out has a small shallow repair, which is exceptionally difficult to detect, it is at the rear, and covers up pretty much minor nibbling at best. Close secondary inspection reveals another possible repair even smaller under the flared out bit to the side, it basically looks like they have tidied up a couple of nibbled sections. There is a small wear patch at the front shoulder, slightly larger one at the front base between Co and London near the star, and another on the rear. There are some light surface scratches and minor scuffs. This is an amazing piece of glass in very good condition, it would be an asset to any black glass collection. Grade: 7.6 Estimate: $600 - 800
