A Glass Flask with Civil War Era Inscription
This Blown Glass Flask has a 'broken pontil" on the bottom, indicating that it was hand blown. The cap made of pewter is inscribed " Maderia for the Last Survivor of the Class of 1861". I would think this is not a college class but a group of soldiers who enlisted in 1861.
Either way an interesting item of the Civil War Era. The flask measures 7" tall, and had at one time a leather covering.
Price: $165
