    P1150352.JPG P1150353.JPG P1150356.JPG P1150358.JPG This is a flask my grandmother gave me before she died in the early 1970's. I've always enjoyed the imagery, and recently started using it for its intended purpose.

    Anyone have any thoughts about the age and/or value, and the maker?

    Thank,

    Wallace marks on this page. https://www.925-1000.com/americansilver_W.html

    The R Wallace and Sons name (and the mark your flask bears) was used from 1871 to well into the 20th century. The style of the flask looks 1920's or so to me. JMHO

    Mine fits well, and with a new cork liner, it doesn't leak. Woodford Reserve fits it perfectly.
