pumpkin seed flask

[colorpro]

Hi, I found this flask in an old barn, looks really old it fits with the characteristics of the old bottles, but in surprisingly great shape. no stains, it looks like it stayed in this barn for a long time. it's embossed with merry christmas and happy new year , also has embossong on the sides...it does not have a seam line all the way to the lip, which from research tells me it's older. it's clear, and has no stains, I don't know where it was made and wonder what it's value would be?

This is a give away bottle. Merchants would buy these to give to thier customers at Christmas. Your's probably had liquor in it. Just enough to get Daddy home on Xmas night after buying Momma her gift. The form of the bottle itself is called a pumpkin seed because of it's shape.

Nice flask, not uncommon. You can't beat the price, as you found it. Have seen them at bottle shows for less than $10. Cool find though. Are you a bottle collector?


PD

Hey!! I am so sorry I didn't answer these responses. for some reason I didn't think it posted properly and I never saw the post or responses!! I have always love bottles and glass but never found any worth much or too damaged /dirty...so I thought (excuse the writing as my comma button isn't working) I now cringe to think of all the good stuff I had in the past and was unknowledgeable about!! I just recently took up yard sales this summer and got so much good stuff (that flask included) that it has awakened the collectors bug in me!! I have had better luck finding items of value that aren't bottles but I always check out every bottle I see!! I have a metal detector I bought and have not gone out as much as I'd like...I think I need some company!! I don't know how to go about digging without getting in trouble (and who can afford that??) If anyone is in the capital region of ny and wouldn't mind a newbee digger I'm your gal!! By the way do you dig in the cold?? Thanks for the responses again...As of yet I am still enjoying this flask a lot I have it with other old glassware I've collected and look at it every day!!
I love looking at this site and learning about others bottles...I just got an old bottle book today in the mail which I promptly looked through (American Bottles by Ketchum). Ok long winded post but I felt I should say hello and respond! Thanks!
