A stunning piece of gentleman’s barware from the early 20th century. This hip flask features a hand-stitched crocodile or alligator leather wrap in a rich cognac tone over a glass flask body. The top has a hinged dome cap with bayonet catch, and the base includes a removable silver plate tumbler cup with beautiful patina.
The vertical sight glass window lets you check the fill level — a hallmark of high-quality flasks from this era. Perfect for collectors of antique barware, equestrian/hunting memorabilia, or prohibition-era collectibles.
This flask displays beautifully on a bar cart or in a cabinet and makes an exceptional gift for whisky, bourbon, or scotch enthusiasts.
