<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 11049971, member: 76316"]The oval base is slightly recessed, ~3 1/4" X ~1 5/8"; weight is ~19.2 oz. The lip is 1" diameter, with a 0.485" mouth. The overall finish is very fine satin; I can't tell if it's been acid-etched or bead blasted. There are two small places on the base that are <i>not</i> satin finished. I've had it for ~10 years, but just today put a bright flashlight against the base an' looked into the mouth...to find a lovely ruby-red spot on the bottom. There are no indicators about origin or maker, an' nothing about what contents may have been its intended cargo. I don't think it has significant age; perhaps '70s to '90s as a WAG.</p><p>Obviously I am without clue about this flask...an' hope some of you glass aficionados can provide relief for my ignorance.</p><p>Thanks for lookin'!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]535659[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]535660[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]535661[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]535662[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
