The paneled body and oval form reflect a classic working-class whiskey flask design, with a tooled lip and visible mold characteristics consistent with hand-finished production. It falls within the collectible category of early American utilitarian glass and retains strong historical interest tied to organized labor. Today, it displays well as a piece of industrial Americana or as part of a vintage barware collection. Item has been irradiated to produce the beautiful purple color; it also has notable mold marks and air bubbles. See less
