It is too scary Charlie, if you look close on one picture you can see the date on the left side 1732 and on the right you can make out more numbers. It is a commemorative flask. I have never seen this one just the screw top one that is embossed 1732 George Washington 1932. This one look's like it says 1732 George Washington 1799. Here is the picture from the listing. It is a very good looking flask.
