A lovely vintage flask that has a brass-plated exterior and a glass interior. Circa late 1930s. The exterior features a brass-plated "cage" Art Deco pattern and an interior glass flask. This flask is the traditional curved flask has a screw off cap. The cap features a ribbed detail at the top. The cap still has its original cork inside. Extremely heavy in weight, this flask is solid. Truly a fantastic piece.
Condition: Good vintage condition overall but with a few signs of age/wear. The brass-plating shows wear and what we refer to as a few small "age spots". The glass is completely in tact with no chips or nicks. The cork inside the cap is in excellent shape. Here's a full summary:
1) This flask has minor tarnish in various areas.
2) There's general "surface wear" in a number of places.
3) There's what we refer to as dark "age spots" in a few small areas to the silver-plating including a small dark "age spot" to the silver-plating on the very bottom of the flask's exterior.
4) There's surface wear on the bottom exterior of this flask.
5) The brass-plating has worn in a number of areas (so the underneath metal is peaking through, which is a silver tone). It's very subtle.
5) **Please note: the exterior (that's over the glass) that was applied when the flask was created has a "seam" on one side that resembles a "crack"; it's not a crack but a "seam" (which is how the cage was ultimately put over the glass flask)....please see last photo for reference.
6) The screw on cap has a few very, very tiny indentations. They're not actual dings, but very shallow, tiny indentations.
In short, this antique flask is in good vintage condition signs of age and wear inline with a piece that's 90+ years old... truly a magical hip flask. Cheers.
