some how I missed the first pics, it doesn't look to have bad body wear. Nice flask. Keep me in mind if you want to sell it. Thanks

Beautiful bottle. What's the story on it? Did you find it?

Tigue71 will keep you in mind. However I have been offered $450 for it as is. I am still looking into the value. I like it and am in no hurry to sell it. I guess the value is in the eye of the beholder.Still getting mixed opinions on to empty it and clean it, tumble it or leave it alone. I found this in a old New England barn.

I never saw those new pictures, that's a beauty. It looks like an original type wax and cork or wood seal. I think maybe keeping it best now. I wonder what happens to molasses after 150 years of freezing and thawing? Would that get granular?

I'd leave it as is, (if it was mine, and I wish it was![;)]).

thanks, 150 would be my best offer. I can get that color for that much at a show if I wait. lat one I picked up in a deep forest green for 125 and just missed one on ebay that went for 95 although the most common olive green color. its nice a flask, and I like them when they are still dirty...
