To me it looks very similar to Success to the RR flask that I've seen that are repros. It has that fat look. I believe most flask like that were a bit flatter to make them easier to pocket. I'm probably wrong though so don't listen to me. Swiz (in reply to RIBottleguy) Post #: 6

RE: too new to be old ? - 6/4/2010 6:46:03 PM    whiskeyman Posts: 2414 Joined: 4/17/2005 Status: offline It is a repro. The 1st ones were made in the 1930's...maker unknown. Later ones were made by Clevenger Bros Glass Works of Clayton NJ. The best way to tell an original of this flask (GI-28) is, the embossing is much more distinct and the letters have serifs...
