Title: Need Help Identifying This Flask (any info would help!)
Post by: Marc-Barr on September 25, 2012, 02:04:20 PM: I'm going through some odds and ends that belonged to my grandfather and was hoping someone could help me identify this. Its a flask of an old gentleman's face.Made of ceramic or some kind of pottery. Top of hat reveals the cork.I could find no make at the bottom or anywhere on the flask.Looks like something made by Holt Howard,but am not certain. ANyone know who the maker of this is and how much it would be worth? Any information would be helpful. Thanks!
