6. BUST OF TAYLOR / “ROUGH AND READY” - “MAJOR” / BUST OF RINGGOLD / “RINGGOLD.”, (GI-71), Baltimore Glass Works, Baltimore, Maryland, ca. 1846 - 1850, light shading to a medium pink amethyst pint, open pontil, sheared and tooled lip.
Some slight high point wear, otherwise this gem of a flask is in perfect condition.
Major Ringgold served under General Zachary Taylor during the Mexican-American War. He was considered to be an innovative artillery officer for his ability to quickly move his artillery units to various locations during battle. He died a few days after the Battle of Palo Alto from wounds received during the battle. Of the few we’ve seen in this coloration it by far exceeds them in density of color!

9. EAGLE / “ZANES / VILLE” - CORNUCOPIA, (GII-18), Zanesville, Glass Works, Zanesville, Ohio, ca. 1835 - 1845, amber shading to a more yellow amber in the upper one-half pint, open pontil, sheared and tooled lip.
Some high point wear is mostly on the Cornucopia panel.
When occasionally found this flask tends to have a very weak impression (some are so weak that the embossing is not legible). This one is considerably better than most with all the embossing (especially the 'Ville'), being readable. One of the rarer of the Ohio historical flasks.
