Flask - old or new? - 1/1/2008 10:22:22 PM    2flasks   Posts: 4 Joined: 1/1/2008 Status: offline Greetings, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this (newbie), but I have a flask that I am interested in knowing a bit more about. My assumption has been that it was made by Coffin & Hay as I have another flask that is labeled as such which shares the same images as this - a flag on one side, and eagle/shield on the other. Could this be a pre-civil war flask? Were these copied? Thanks! - Nathan Post #: 1

This bottle was a fixture in my Grandmother's living room for years and years - it's nice to know a little bit about it! I suppose I should post a picture of the other one which is not green (C: This flask is a bit larger than the other, and the detail is much finer as well. Unfortunately I just discovered that part of the top of this flask has been cracked off. - Nathan (in reply to tigue710) Post #: 7

The color on this one is a bit better, anythng on the bottom? _____________________________ A little of everything at http://www.bottlecache.com (in reply to 2flasks) Post #: 8
