This superb gemmy crystal is from old finds in Maine, probably circa the late 1800s or early 1900s. It comes from the important East Coast suite of both Ernie Schlichter and Shields Flynn, so it is "multigenerational " in that regard. Shields' inherited the core of Ernie's collection and preserved it in the original box with Ernie's distinct numbering on bottom. It has an odd, dimpled termination that seems to be contacted, but complete.
