Dug an embossed coffin flask from Brooklyn

[KBbottles]

Hi guys,

NY flasks are out of my area of expertise. Found this over the weekend in a small surface dump near my house. Embossing is Wm Scheppelman 3029-31 Fulton Street Brooklyn NY. Anyone familiar with this one or know if it is desirable to collectors. May end up selling it or using it for trade. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Definitely a keeper or trader. I wouldn't sell it especially if I found it. Very cool thanks for sharing. [8D]

Thx Bruce! I'm rather attached to it since its the first embossed flask I've ever dug so I'm leaning toward using it as a trader down the road.

What you looking for trade wise? Might have something lying around. Or if you want to sell it, I would make an offer. I will see what I can dig up information wise, might take a day or two though....

Hi Kevin,
Well, had some time to look around, and here is what I found.
1895 I can not find a listing for him.
1902, 1903- William Schellelman is listed in the Wine, Liquor & Lager Beer directory at 1068 Manhattan Ave Brooklyn.
1904 to 1906 he is listed at 3031 Fulton in Brooklyn.
I do not have any references after 1906.
Looks like your bottle dates 1904 and later.
