BEAUTIFUL STERLING SILVER AND GLASS ANTIQUE HIP FLASK

Before the era of stainless steel, the best hip flasks were made with glass or silver because the glass doesn't react with the alcohol like other metals such as pewter

A stunning early 1900s flask. This flask has a silver-plated ornate encasing over a heavy glass flask. The pictures don't do this piece justice. Extremely heavy in weight, this silver-plated and glass glask has a screw-on cap .The scrolled overlay detailing is simply stunning; we tried to capture it by zooming in. This flask has a magical feel to it. Truly a breath-taking antique piece.

Condition: Good vintage condition with signs of age/wear inline with a piece that's over 100 years old. There's patina (which is part of this piece's magical factor) -- please note, it will likely not poilsh up to a vibrant silver. Here's a full summary:

1) The silver-plated encasing is in good shape overall but you can see the "seams" (which was how it was applied over the glass flask) and the seams have a small splits.

If I was to keep this I would have it glued or soldered together. I did not want to “mess around “ with it and felt the new owner may have their own ideas. I would polish the item but I always leave refreshing up to the New owners.Some collectors are very picky about how cleaning is done so I don’t want to interfere with their wishes.

2) There's a ding on the bottom corner of the flask and two micro shallow/small dings on the flask. took a lot of pictures so please to check them out carefully.They are so small you probably will not be able to see them. You need additional information or pictures please ask.

3) As mentioned above, the silver-plating is in good shape overall but does show signs of general age and will likely not polish up to a perfectly bright silver tone

In short, this piece is in good vintage condition and inline with a silver-plated flask that's over 100 years old. Truly a stunning antique piece.

This is a very RARE FIND ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS OVER 100 YEARS OLD. I looked at prices at other flask which were very similar to the one I am selling in order to price this antique. I also found ones almost identical to mine and saw what they were sold for.This is how I priced my flask. I hope you find it acceptable but more importantly fair. Thank you for looking at my antique.
