Coffin Flask ID. Need Help!

[PlaneDiggerCam]

I dugpics. BIM coffin flask a while ago and really need help with it. It has an odd namesake on the base (89 Rutard) which I cannot trace. It also has an odd top for maybe a shot glass? Here are some pics:

Through extensive searching I've only found these worthpoint listings for the same name on a base of a barrel figural that the sellers claim to be bitters/whiskey,

Anyone ever see this before? Is my flask tied to the barrels? Any information on the name and style of flask this is would be appreciated!

Thanks,

They show up in a court case over a baby bottle here https://books.google.ca/books?id=hSwaAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA486&lpg=PA486&dq="rutard+et+cie"&source=bl&ots=BLM4RbIyzB&sig=ACfU3U3R7nSHVl-BOiAQ8Ig98kYEuR-BxA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiUjqamgMfuAhUhwFkKHfuyBTkQ6AEwAHoECAIQAg#v=onepage&q="rutard"&f=false
and their patent for a bottle closure is here https://books.google.ca/books?id=psc6AQAAMAAJ&pg=RA5-PA141&lpg=RA5-PA141&dq="rutard"+bottle&source=bl&ots=guFsosxNxZ&sig=ACfU3U3z6TCBljuO2bpCaacLizIOt8XMGg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjtys_9_8buAhXmp1kKHYYhAqEQ6AEwD3oECBEQAg#v=onepage&q="rutard" bottle&f=false

Here's another flask of theirs https://www.patrimoine-culturel.gouv.qc.ca/rpcq/detail.do?methode=consulter&id=197819&type=bien

I think you're right about the top being designed for a shot glass. It's also possible that this was a flask originally meant to be covered in leather or metal.

Thanks for the clarification! I am thankful you found something on the company!
