Labeled Citron Flask - Strouse

 

 

 

 

 

Circa 1875-80 Citron Green Strap Flask with Label - Montana Club Rye Whiskey - L. Strouse, Phiadelphia

This is an attic found strap-sided flask in a splendid color and having most of the original label which is pretty ornate. The top is a tooled double collar. It's a pretty crude bottle with a tilting top.

On Label: MONTANA CLUB / THE CREAM OF WHISKIES . L S / DISTILLED FROM / PURE RYE / L. STROUSE & CO. / PHILADELPHIA, PA.

Height: 7 1/2" 
Color: citron lime green
(looks more yellow in bright light, more green in subdued light)

Condition: attic mint except for the label condition which you can see from the pics. The bottle itself is clean and perfect structurally with no issues at all. Just spotty trace wear. The label is a bit tattered around the edges and scuffed but is snug to the bottle.

Reference Number:  GW485

Price: $160
