The term you mean is whittle marked. Here's an article on it. Oh heck, the whole site is a great reference. http://www.blm.gov/historic_bottles/body.htm#Whittle%20Marks Your flask doesn't look too old from here. Nice bubble? though. The stamp is probably the remains of a tax stamp so it could be liquor but I've seen similar bottles with maple syrup, usually with a wire bail closure. Check the seams on the side. Do they go all the way to the top? _____________________________ Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Eric (in reply to saddiejane) Post #: 6

I did not see that in the pictures i have.. that bubble is huge, there are all kinds of ripples and smaller bubbles and the botton is crude also thanks for your help so this should be on the other forum  (in reply to cowseatmaize) Post #: 7
