Greetings,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this (newbie), but I have a flask that I am interested in knowing a bit more about. My assumption has been that it was made by Coffin & Hay as I have another flask that is labeled as such which shares the same images as this - a flag on one side, and eagle/shield on the other. Could this be a pre-civil war flask? Were these copied? Thanks!

Greetings,

Thanks so much for the info. This bottle was a fixture in my Grandmother's living room for years and years - it's nice to know a little bit about it! I suppose I should post a picture of the other one which is not green (C:

This flask is a bit larger than the other, and the detail is much finer as well. Unfortunately I just discovered that part of the top of this flask has been cracked off. [:(]
