Masonic Lafayette Flask

I'm thinking GI-88 or 89 now. I can't tell size from pictures.

It's a huge book, but McKearin and Wilson's American Bottles and Flasks and their ancestry has what was at the time a comprehensive listing of both the real ones and the fakes.   That's a good starting place.

Truer words never spoken. If you're interested in flasks, having and studying this text is not an option, it is absolutely necessary. And Eric, it's an 89.

Yeh, see? I would have guessed pint, no point of reference.
I'm not as in-tune to the fine details you probably saw though, for those I would need the book and the bottle at the same time. That or a general idea of size.[]
How ya doing Jeff, seen Mike lately? I haven't seen him here in months. I know you and Holly were up at Somersworth but I don't remember if I saw him. No big surprise really, yesterday is a challenge.[] Last I remember was the Lowell show I think.

Fine bottle.

Hey Eric, I saw you at the Dover show. I haven't been posting here lately, but check in quite a bit! Take care, and thanks for asking about me. Mike

I figured I must have, that's like the/your show to go to. Not being a seller I just pop in at one or two NE area shows a year but don't really keep track of who was where.[] I'll probably never call it Dover either.[][]
Good to here from you.
