Hi Stardust...I guess you have the same flask...is it clean also? I got lucky as this was never in the dirt..is it the same for yours? can you post a pic? I know people say these are common...but I only ever saw one other picture of one ..and it wasn't as clean...I would love to see yours just because I am curious... and I wonder if there is a particular way they were made for a particular place.. or if just mass produced somewhere and sent out..I still don't know if it's native to this region or commonplace to wherever because of production..any info you have would be great! thanks..M
Embossed Pumpkinseed flasks along with Coffins and Dandies are very popular here in the West. Examples from bars and saloons are very popular and bring good prices on ebay. Unless the flask is from a Sacramento concern which don't seem to be all that popular for some reason. I used to pick up local Western flasks at bottle shows for anywhere between $20 - $50 fifteen to twenty years ago. In the post-ebay market local Western flasks go for many times those prices making it difficult for anyone without deep pockets (my own pockets are notoriously shallow[8D]) to begin collecting.
My wife collects Christmas and Santa Claus bottles and we have that pumpkin seed flask and several similar ones. They usually sell at $20. - $40. on ebay, more if they have a town embossed.
