CAN YOU SPARE IT ?    The flask is quite uncommon done. It is colorfully and well detailed painted on the front, whilst the rear side is painted in Schafer & Vater shaded dark-brown (with lighter and darker accents), which is a renowned attribute for S&V.   The flask measures : 18.5 cm = 7.3" in height. It is not marked, but without any doubts made by Schafer & Vater, c. 1910-20   The base of the flask is hollow and was meant to attach a music box, thus 2 slots on both sides for a wooden board, which served as lid. Obviously this music box ( usually from Thorens ) was never attached to the offered flask, there are no signs of use.   The flask is in excellent condition, the cork is original to the flask.    This flask is antique & genuine old, not one of this newly upcoming Schafer & Vater repros / imitations from Germany.   PLEASE TAKE NOTE: We can not ship this bottle in a small letter parcel due to the height and the weight.
