This is the last bottle I own that might be undocumented, the only other thing I can find related to this are some notes used to purchase from the company and one other bottle that has a slightly different name but from the same city, this bottle also came from my grandma who may have gotten it from her grandpa or dad, a long time ago I tried to open it and the cork broke but you could still smell the whiskey residue inside! If you have any information on this bottle please let me know. image.jpg

I did find info on Weil Bros & Sons of San Franciso, after a lengthy read, it sounds like things dwindeled after prohibition and the depression, there was no info on what the sons did or where they may have moved to, but it's quite possible the bottle you found maybe from where one or more of the sons ended up at.Weil SF PIX.jpg9a.

I love that threaded glass top if that’s what it is

Don't know anything about it, but that is one killer little flask!

Cork ring on a glass stopper was pretty ubiquitous on 1905-Prohibition flasks as far as I have seen.

Here's a similar bottle with the same stopper but no embossing. I thought about buying it but not sure a slick is worth it. bottle.jpg
