Association Football Themed Flask C. 1880s


 

Diminutive 4 ¾” x 2 ½” glass flask with a silver plated detachable base cup. We like early sports related flasks (see September 28, 2014 post) and this one features an Association football which we have not seen before. The handshake design below the football may indicate membership in a fraternal organization.  The flask has some great air bubble inclusions adding to its character.
