Popularity is kind of subjective, as these come with at least 3 distinctive styles. The large double roll, the small double roll, and the more scarce single roll type. To me the most attractive are every one of them! It does seem that the large double roll top examples appear earlier than the other two...but that may not be the case.I do know that they come in the best colors, and are sometimes whittled, where the smaller double rolls seem to have the strongest embossing which blows my large top-earliest theory! Maybe they were all blown around the same time by different glasshouses. The single roll top examples are all the same color though, so that must mean something...I am open to thoughts on this.Overall a nice and early flask that does not take a second mortgage to acquire.<br /> Dale M.Westernglassaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162676128646657580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277506439468906997.post-15395037726445166412010-09-10T16:35:17.362-07:002010-09-10T16:35:17.362-07:00Which top is more popular or Scarce?

I remember one old house where there were hundreds of flasks in one pit, with the vast majority broken and crammed in. Only 12 survivors, three of which were those Wormser's.Mike Dolcinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100009168892063834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277506439468906997.post-70811023295246804062010-09-05T18:22:05.294-07:002010-09-05T18:22:05.294-07:00Hey Andrew,

I have seen one that is pretty close to that one in Santa Rosa area collection. It is in the latest Thomas book.Westernglassaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162676128646657580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277506439468906997.post-22137525648086197572010-09-05T18:10:58.213-07:002010-09-05T18:10:58.213-07:00Two years ago we pulled out a broken PURE green ve...Two years ago we pulled out a broken PURE green vertical from the Bay Area that would have been the top example hands down !
