Philadelphia Strap Flask - Searle

 

 

 

 

 

Circa 1880 Philadelphia Pint Strap Flask - Thos. V. Searle

Philly whiskey flasks with oval slug plates are pretty uncommon and sought after. Here is a pretty colored chunky quart from south Philly with a hand tooled top. Nice character in the glass.

Embossed: THOS V. SEARLE / N. E. COR. / 18TH & SOUTH / PHILADA.

Height: 9 3/4" 
Color: honey orange

Condition: displays mint - very clean and a lovely color that grabs the light. Only issue is a set of 3 small old lip flakes on the right side of the top of the lip - see pics.

Reference Number:  GW482

Price: $85
