Robert E Lee and Jefferson Davis Flask, real or fake?

Here is the last one I'm not sure about. This flask looks old due to the imperfect lip, but again I just don't know. Let me know what you guys know!

Again, I would have to say this is a modern bottle ... meaning the 1970s, when a lot of these came out. I've been looking at the Indian Queen and hope somebody else comments on it!

So was this bottle machine made? Just wondering because the lip is not perfect.

A lot of the bottles from this era were actually blown in molds to make them look earlier. The Clevenger Brothers, of Clayton, N.J., were great for this and I have several examples in my collection a lot of people would swear were actual antique bottles. However, a good repro does bring some decent money these days.

real or fake?

It's real i would say, just not really old.
The lip is kind of a give away. Still a neat bottle.

SKAMPLER...these were blown in a mold...probably to commemorate the Civil War Centennial in the mid 1960s. Maker unknown,although LE Smith Glass Co did make a similar Lincoln/Cabin flask about the same time...
