Bought this pontil pocket flask at a yard sale

[cowsgomoo]

It has a cracked off pontil on the bottom and the finish has been smoothed down. I’m not sure who the portrait is of or what the object depicted on the back is.

Reproduction.

Damn. Is it the orange peel texture?

I am not the flask collector so I could be wrong but the pontil, and color look reproduction. Most likely 1900s reproduction.

Definitely repro-pretty heavy looking -a sure sign of not being original 1800's . A window bottle for sure with that bright blue.
Not sure of portrait but a sheaf of wheat on back---- which was portrayed on 1860's Westford CT flask's , a sign of abundance, prosperity and blessing

Always ask us, people are here all the time. We will tell you if it is worth it. Sorry, but it still has value as a reproduction. Just not as much as an original. I just don't know what that value would be.

Will remember that in the future. It’s a gift to mom now who plans to put flowers or something in it lol.

Looks like a reproduction to me . Your not supposed to be able to read anything on there. probably 30 years old at most. Sorry but I’ve been learning a lot on this sight. I’d bring something else to the Antiques Roadshow.
