I am an avid collector of flasks. I was curious if anyone knows time frames of when different kinds were made.

Warranted

Registered

Registered Oval

Guaranteed

Coffin

Also I understand the lip of each can tell a lot.

Thank you everyone

All of them except the coffins are no earlier than the late 1880's, but unembossed forms can date earlier, they are the direct descendants of historical flasks.. coffins can date back to the Civil War era.. flasks in general phased out of these forms in the 1920's.

Thanks! It is always a treat to here from other people. I am waiting for the special person to say something like " Registered Ovals were only made for two year" ECT EXAMPLE QUOTE.

coffins that have a knife edge . are earlier then the rounded side ones , there are machine made coffins out there as well . i know of several embossed machine made whiskies , . generally any unembossed whiskey bottle originally came with a colorful label
