Flask
The reverse of this flask shows an eagle with a branch above an oval. Within the oval is the word "KEENE," the town in New Hampshire in which the Keene Marlboro Street Glassworks was located. A ribbon decorates the flask above the eagle. On the obverse, there is a Masonic arch encircled by stars over a tessellated pavement. Under the arch are Masonic emblems, including an all-seeing eye, a square and compass, and a triangle.
