VINTAGE FLASK

EXCELLENT CONDITION!

HANDBLOWN

THIS FLASK WAS MY GRANDMOTHERS, SO I KNOW THAT IT'S VERY OLD. IT HAS SCROLL WORKED DESIGN ON BOTH SIDES, WITH STARS WHICH ARE HARD TO PICTURE DETAIL. THEIR ARE NO DAMAGE CHIPS! THE PIECE MEASURES AT THE WIDEST POINT 5 INCHES AND STANDS AT A HEIGHT OF 6 3/4 INCHES. THE COLOR IS THAT OF CONFEDERATE BLUE.

I will do combine shipping, if you purchase more than one item. I will try to save you the shipping cost.

My shipping coast are actual true cost. I do not make anything on my shipping. I weigh all items that I list, with their carton, and packing material. I keep my shipping costs honest.

THIS FLASK WAS ORIGINALLY MY GREAT-GRANDMOTHERS AND SHE USE TO KEEP TURPENTINE IN IT. MY GRANDMOTHER USE TO REMEMBER, HER MOTHER RUBBING IT ON HER, WHEN SHE WOULD GET A COUGH. MY GRANDMOTHER WAS 99, WHEN SHE PASSED AND THAT HAS BEEN 30 YEARS AGO.

AFTER ALL THE INQUIRIES THAT I HAVE HAD ON THIS PIECE, I AM DOING IS REVISION TO MY BEST ABILITY. I'M NOT AN EXPERT ON THIS BOTTLE, AND YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS. WHEN HELD TO THE STRONG SUNLIGHT, ON THE RIBBINGS, SCROLL WORK OR SIDES, I SEE NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF CHIPPING, HAIRLINE CRACKS. ONE RIBBING HAS A SMALL TEAR DROP BUBBLE OUTLINE, WHICH IS A MOLD FLAW. YOU CAN REALLY SEE IT, JUST SLIGHTLY FEEL IT. THIS BOTTLE HAS ALOT OF BUBBLES. I DID FIND A CHIP AND A HAIRLINE CRACK, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S BETWEEN THE GLASS, BECAUSE NO PIECE IS MISSING. BELOW THAT IS A BUBBLE THAT RUNS ON THE 3 RIBBINGS, IT'S BETWEEN THE GLASS OR IN THE GLASS. NOW THE NECK OF THE BOTTLE, I'M GOING TO TRY TO MY BEST AND LET YOU DESIDE. THEIR ARE LINES ON EACH SIDE OF THE NECK OF THE BOTTLE. TO ME IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS DONE IN PRODUCTION, THAT THEY ARE REAL CLOSE TO THE SIDE SEAM. ONE IS SMOOTH AND ONE IS LIKE AN ETCHING, LIKE A BROCKEN AIR BUBBLE LINE. I SEE LITTLE AIR BUBBLE LINES IN THE NECK BETWEEN THE GLASS, BECAUSE BOTH FRONT AND INSIDE ARE PRETTY SMOOTH. THE IS 5 VERY TINY SCRATH MARKS ON THE INSIDE OF THE NECK, THAT I FOUND BY MY NAIL. THEY ARE ALMOST THE SAME DISTANT IN SIZE AND THE SAME DISTANT APART. SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED OR MADE THEM. NOW THE RIM OF THE BOTTLE. THE RIM IS NOT PERFECTLY ROUND OR SMOOTH. THEY ARE SOME SMALL CHIPS ON THE RIM AND THEIR IS 2 INDENTATIONS WHERE THEY MAY HAVE MADE WHEN THEY STOPPED WHEN MAKING IT. IT'S A BIT HIGHER THERE. THERE IS ALSO A SMALL PIT, WHICH MAY BE A BROKEN ARE BUBBLE OR A FLAW OS SOME KIND. THEIR IS A OVAL AIR BUBBLE MARK ON THE ONE SIDE, BUT IT'S NOT AN INDENTATION.

I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU FOLKS OUT THAT ARE INTERESTED IN IT. IT'S A VERY SMOOTH FEELING BOTTLE. STILL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS! YOU'LL HAVE TO MAKE THE DECISION AND YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT.

THANKS SO VERY MUCH

  I'M ADDING ANOTHER BIT OF INFORMATION ABOUT THIS BOTTLE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT, DEPENDING, WHERE YOU PUT THIS OR THE CHANGE IN LIGHTING, IT SEEMS TO CHANGE COLORS. LAST NIGHT AT MY DESK, WITH THE LIGHTING, IT LOOKED ALMOST LIKE A OLIVE-GREEN. TODAY ON TOP OF THE HUTCH, IT LOOKED  MORE GRAY. IT SEEMS TO VARY IN IT'S COLORING DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION.

The color of this bottle is either a Prussian Blue or a Deep Sapphire.
