Shoomaker's flask

[jhamner]

I need some help with the bottle in the attached pictures.....age, rarity, use (whisky?), and I would especially like to know a value for this bottle (near mint condition)
Thanks so much for your help!

I don't now about this bottle, but it looks like a good one. We should have a picture of the finish,(with the question of side seams on it).
A picture of the bottom of the bottle, would tell us more about the making method.
It looks like a neat slug plate flask.
Just checking out the postings on the forum. 'RED Matthews

Did you get in touch with Mike?

Sorry--wrong pic. and it won't let me edit!

It definitely appears to be a 1890 - 1920 whiskey flask. Rarity / value needs to be determined by collectors of bottles from thatr location. It probably doesn't have universal appeal.
