I would also like to know value since I did buy this. thank you to all who help. this bottle has very crude embossing an can barely make out what is on it..

RE: washington/ship flask - 1/7/2012 12:41:40 AM    Steve/sewell Posts: 4291 Joined: 1/23/2010 Status: online One more item to help determine the original Albany flasks from the Clevengers.The original flasks have Serif lettering versus the Clevengers having Sans Serif. This picture will explain it more thoroughly. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Auf Wiedersehen (in reply to Steve/sewell) Post #: 18
