What do you all think of this one? Authentic or repro??

Looks like a repo to me but dont take my word for it. Does it say made in china anywhere lol.

I am not familiar with any repros of the Flora Temple flask. I saw this one for sale, and had figured that it was a great colored pint example that never had the handle applied. I would have to assume that the top had been broken off, although most of these had an applied ring top. It is a strange one, and a tough call unless it is in your hands.

Thats an odd one. Hard to tell much from a thumnail.

I researched as much as I could about this flask, and I just kept seeing no repros made. I will fess up, it's on it's way soon. Would it be possible that maybe it was a sample size? It does look rather small, but the color is gorgeous. Thanks for the responces.

Here is a link to the eBay auction. More pictures to tell if it is authentic.
Looks real, to me.

These come in the pint and quart sizes. This looks like a pint, and being roughly 8" tall, it fits the size... it is not a sample or odd size. Everything looks right, but that top (or lack of). The color looks awesome... could be a real good buy!

Maybe the top was broken and someone tried to fix it.
Almost looks like it was ground at the top.
