Rare and important
"Good / Samaritan / Brandy - Gentyr, Slote & Co / New York" historical flask, deep olive, plump chestnut form with an applied mouth with ring and a large red iron pontil scar. GXV-21. Per Mark Vuono's informative article, "Appreciate 'Lettered' Flasks", (AB&GC, Dec. 2014), he rates this flask as, "very rare and possibly extremely rare". A 2017 barn find at the historic Darlington Farm, Delaware County, PA.
This flask is believed to be only the third example to be offered in more than 20 years. A very difficult flask to find, and one that is equally important to whiskey collectors being a private mold pontiled whiskey. This example has bold embossing, and more importantly, great history behind it.
As noted above, the bottle was a 2017 barn find at the historic Darlington Farm (Delaware County, PA). The farm property was purchased by William Penn in 1682 and granted to John Sharpless. In 1797 it was purchased by the Darlington family by virtue of Amy Sharpless's marriage to Jesse Darlington. The farm had it's own post office and people came from far and wide to have their mail, especially Valentines cards, stamped "Darlington, Pa". In 1922, the farm was bought by Charles Wood the founder of Wawa Dairy.
