      My two cents, gleaned from a couple of sites.
      It's a reproduction of an old South New Jersey Glass bottle, made by the Clevenger Brothers Glass Works to commemorate the first blood spilled in the American Revolution.
      Clevenger Bros. specialized in reproducing old South Jersey Glass.

      "The nation’s earliest successful glass factory was founded in 1789 by Caspar Wistar in nearby Salem County in Millville. Many of the nation’s foremost glass factories operate in South Jersey."

      There is an image of the scroll flask in figure six bottom row of the first link.
      They made these in molds that could be adapted with a slug plate.

      "Many of the original molds for bottles were modified to accept a slug plate. These plates could be made to commemorate anything such as town anniversaries or special events. The plate was inserted into the mold allowing a bottle to be blown with the plate impression on the front, back or both sides allowing for the production of limited edition and personalized bottles for clubs and organizations."
      The above is from this link;

      Thank You walksoftly, I've visited all of the above sites ,hoping to find an example of my bottle to find out what club or organization would have had it made, guess it really is a limited edition if I can't find one more example on line .

      You're most welcome, I did find examples of other flasks from that Bicentennial collection.

      Perhaps you could find out more if you contacted the New Jersey Antique Bottle Club.
