$0.50 flask

[swizzle]

I bought this flask at a yard sale for 50 cents today. The lines on the front and back are diagonal on the flask. When you hold it up and look at it the lines intersect and create diamond shapes. I thought it looked neat so I bought it. Later I noticed on the bottom it says "UNIVERSAL" "PAT'D FEB. 8 1927". Then I took off the silver covered cap and noticed that it seals air tight with a cork liner inside the cap. I thought I got my 50 cents worth. Anyone with info on it? Swiz

I may be way off on this but I think that Hemingray Glass Co. May have made that. I know that they did make universal flasks like that, so thats what im thinking... if it is a Hemingray piece, it will have some value.

Whatever it is I think you got your moneys worth

I just found the same flask on ebay for the "buy it now" price of $49+ $5.95 S/H. Only my flask is slightly bigger and the flask on ebay is patented 1924. Unless the guy read the date on the bottom wrong. I'm hoping that I just bought a $50 flask for .50 cents. I like when that happens. Swiz

Then your .50 cents was worth it.[] Ya got to love it when that happens.
