The item shown is a vintage hunter's hip flask. These types of flasks were traditionally designed for hunters or hikers to carry small amounts of spirits, such as whisky, for quick sips during outdoor activities. Materials: Typically made of blown glass with a pewter metal cup that fits snugly over the bottom of the bottle. Cap: Features a screw-top lid lined with cork to prevent leaks. Design: The metal base serves as a detachable drinking cup. Origin and Era - Similar items range from the Victorian era (late 1800s) to the mid-20th century (1950s). The glass has a few scratches but it is in excellent condition given its age.
