Bennington? Mid to late 1800's, I'm guessing, perhaps a take-off on the Irish Potato famine? Very realistic shape, with a neck where a cork or plug would have gone. Pontil marks on bottom.  About 6" long x 2 5/8" tall. Flask is in most excellent condition with no major damage. There are two areas on the top side with fine scratches. Piece is so glossy it wouldn't show up, so I did another set of photos with flash, as well as without, so you could see. $60.00 opening bid, no reserve. Buyer to pay shipping and insurance.  PLEASE NOTE: with eBay's new mandatory shipping calculator, I'm having to GUESS at what this will weigh, packed. The shipping shown is an ESTIMATE--could actually be less or a little more. Thanks for understanding! Never a bogus handling charge & always happy to combine multiple orders to save on shipping. Lightweight items are usually sent very economically by First Class mail. Breakable items will always need insurance, unless you choose to forego.
