My wife bought this for me recently from ebay. I have to say that it is my favorite flask hands down. I have never seen "Warranted Flask" Written straight and in the middle. The bottle is in beautiful condition. The Base is warped internally. Very very please with this little treasure.

Cool take your time, I am in no hurry. I have been spending a lot of money on flask, and a lot of time trying to sneak the packages into the house. I usually hear "Why are you buying more things" and I have something like "I used the money that I got from that one expensive bottle I sold" I have been saying that so much that she is going to think It was a $1000 bottle.

No worries, I'd be giving them away practically, it's nice to know someone has an interest in them...

Yeah I guess what does it for me is that I always imagine and think of the men who worked hard labor to make ends meet, meanwhile they would take a quick nip of some whiskey and toss the bottle. They are a symbol of the sacrifice and struggle the common man gave back 120 years ago. Or I also imagine just a couple of guys laughing and telling stories as they passed the flask around on a lonely summer night around the fire. Pretty odd huh? lol

There were lots of variances. Here's "guaranteed flask". Sorry, it's not too clear.

I do not have one yet with that symbol on it. I have seen about 2. Certainly looking into it.

Hey Roadwarrier,
Nice flask! I have a somewhat similar bottle, but the "warranted" is arched instead of straight across. Mine also has "7 fl. oz." embossed down near the heel. There are no markings on the bottom.
I imagine mine is a more common bottle?? Also, I'm wondering the age of Your's?? I'm thinking mine is from around 1900-up until prohibition.
I'm a Newbie, so please bear with me.[;)]
...........No pics to send,sorry........
Thanks
Ron
