Amber Union Calabash Flask Clasped Eagle - 3/6/2010 5:39:56 PM    towhead Posts: 2615 Joined: 12/31/2004 From: MINNESOTA Status: offline A friend got an amber Union Clasped Hands Eagle Flask at an estate sale.  The first two pix are pix I found on this sight that look exactly like it....really hard to take a pic of amber!  The next three pix are from the actual one I have.  Is this the real thing?  Thanks for any input! -Julie Attachment (1) Post #: 1
