<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 70306, member: 201&quot;]I see what I think Greg was saying... the earliest examples I&#039;m seeing on the web have no lip at the top. The glass goes more or less straight up before the top edge. Maybe there&#039;s an in-between period, still antique, when the flared top was used for these types of flasks?</p><p><br /></p><p>I just learned something new. Apparently the profile is of Columbia, not Lady Liberty. &quot;Columbia&quot; was an adaptation from Christopher Columbus&#039; name and the image was used as a female representation of the U.S. Around 1920, images of the Statue of Liberty began to be used instead of Columbia. Here&#039;s a wikipedia article about it...</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_%28name%29" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_%28name%29" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_(name)</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
