FA&Co Union Cannon Flask

Dragon0421 · Oct 9, 2013

This bottle was a gift to me and i was curious about the size on it, although there is damage on the bottle I like this style of flask. The question I have is all I have seen is the 7 1/2 inch flask and this one measures at 6 1/2 was curious about the size of it and if anyones has one like it. Thanks in advance for the help.

The back of the flask, I like the scene on it with the flag and cannon.

Now I see the interest in mine with the broken top. Yours may be the GXII-42 unless it also has some differences making it an unreported mold from the '78 book. That's possible too.
Cool flask!
Since none were actually mesured in volume I use the height as the way to tell. It's not very accurate without shoulder, width and other dimensions but generally a 5.5-6.5 is Â½ pint and 7 "-8" is shown as pints. The neck can vary as much as an inch alone. 8-10" could get in the quarts but again, not true volume.
That's just my best guess.
Edit for typo's and stuff.

Me too. Excellent artwork in moldmaking.
