Now that's just beautiful. Is it a pint or quart? Either one it's a beaut. I have dug 17 broken historical flasks in the past year and some were OPs. A whole one is definately on the top of my want to find list. Thanks for posting. If you put it in a tumbler there's always the chance of breaking it. I'm like Chris, it looks fine just the way it is.
hey great looking bottle toss up about tumbling but here is my opinion about the neck i am thinking that when they were using the shearing tool it slid alittle and then they heated it up and that how the tapper effect got there if you look at my flask lip you can see where they were going to shear it but then moved up and sheared it just my opinion but anyways great flask i am still looking for any of the flasks that have a stag on them good luck on future finds
bob and thanks for sharing
