That is a nice looking flak, but I gotta reask what Hemihampton did. Are you sure it's not a reproduction ? The embossing looks like a Czech mold copy and the bottom looks brand new. It doesn't have any wear on it. I'm just asking, really hoping it is real.
I see lots of old looking flask at Antique stores in brite blue cobalt, orange, yellow, green, all kinds of cool colors, with prices like $10-$20. They can't be real for only 10 or 20 bucks, right? LEON.
definitely real, at least to these 18 year old eyes it is. I have an iron pontiled scroll flask that has the same "orange peel" texture like this one. And I know mine is real because I saw in-situ pics of when it was dug. Just my 2 cents.
