My newest flask - 6/4/2008 7:04:51 PM    treasurekidd   Posts: 320 Joined: 9/25/2005 From: Warwick, RI Status: offline I picked this one up on ebay, and it just got here today. It's a quart size R.L. Rose Co stapsided flask. RL Rose was a retail grocer and liquor dealer located in Providence, RI, and went out of business in 1919. The Little Rhody Bottle Book lists the straight sided and strap sided flasks only in 16oz, but the 32oz is unlisted. It's got an awesome embossed dragons head with an eagle in a shield, and you can see the nice SCA coloring in the pics. A sweet looking flask, don't you think? Thanks for looking!
