I found this gem at a garage sale and have not been able to find out any info on this item. It appears to be real silver (has a marking on bottom). The bottle comes out of the silver. The bottle has seam down the side and on bottom. There is foreign writing on the bottom with the number 14 in front.

Any information would be appreciated, Thanking you in advance!

Hello Nikki,

The long distance view of the mark is of no use in identification. Perhaps if you got a macro shot that would really show the symbols.

It looks Chinese, or possibly Thai, to me. What does the lip of the flask look like? Is the cap/jigger similarly decorated?

What kinda garage was it?

Surfaceone,

Thank you for your help! I have to find out how to take better pictures for posting. I can not get a got pic of the marking on the bottom. It looks like a small totem pole to me, it is just too small to know for sure. The cap is similar and does go with the piece. I am posting a few more photos.

Thank you again!

Not that you can make out the writing on the bottom of the bottle. I can not with it in hand. It starts with 14 and is a foreign writing.

Hello again, Nikki,

The photo of the embossing on the base of your bottle is not real clear, so I'm hedging some, but it sure looks like it might be Thai, to me:

It sure does look like Thai. I have tried everything to make out the writing, even coloring over it with a sheet of paper, no luck!

Still researching,

Thank you,
