Blown Teardrop Flask - Straw Yellow

Here's a conversation starter - a tall/long flask that is flattened in body, and the neck is stretched to a very narrow shear lip. It's super crude with bubbles and glass character. I'm unsure of the age or provenance, but it was likely New England and circa 1840-1860. Help me out if you know more.

Unembossed  
Color straw yellow
Height 10 3/4"
Top shear lip
Base smooth around bottom

Structural Condition

perfect with no chips, dings, bruises or hairlines. There is a long string bubble in the neck that may be open inside, but no harm.
Surface Condition

Excellent - very clean except the slightest trace haze in spots. The surface has some spotty scratchiness especially in the fattest part of the body from being laid on its side. But not bad, just mentioned for total accuracy.
