Hello all been at it again found this flask today and as far as I can tell it is unknown. I looked and found info on the distillery and post prohibition bottles but could find nothing on this one. Any help would be appreciated!!!

Dude, sweet bottle!

I have dug a few tooled crown amber malt beer style bottles from the same company. I did not know that they also had a distillery operation. Sold one of the beers for 10 or 15 bucks but I would wager that your flask is far more desirable. Some ole-timer local collectors might know what it is worth, but I sure don't.

Please post a link if you decide to sell it on ebay (or elsewhere).

Looks like a good one! I know anytime you dig a whiskey that amber is more desirable than clear. If it's from a small town or rare it could be something special!

Apparently the firm renamed themselves "Popel-Giller Co." in 1906 (this is what was embossed on the beers i dug), so I would wager that it dates to before 1906. That shouldn't hurt the value. [:)]

Despite being in a small town named "Warsaw", it was a German brewery.
