Victorian silver spirit flask; of rectangular, curved shape. This is a wonderful flask and without doubt one of the best we have ever had; the bottom half pulls off to provide a drinking cup; the removeable stopper is in two sections to allow the user to pour out a lot of the contents or a lesser amount if required. The main body has a fine crest. Hallmarks abound everywhere on this piece, and the makers were known for their top quality flasks. Not many flasks of this early date exist now.
