Old Pewter Whiskey Flask – Mid-1800s Frontier Relic
Here’s a real piece of the Old West—a stout pewter whiskey flask, likely made sometime ‘round the mid-1800s. It’s held up mighty fine over the years. No cracks, just a few honest scuffs from a life well-traveled. Still tight, still tough, and ready to ride another hundred years.
Measures 5 1/4” tall, 3” wide, and 1 1/2” thick with the lid on. No maker’s mark—just the kind of no-nonsense craftsmanship you'd expect from a time when folks built things to last.
Perfect for laying flat on a poker table and using as a shiner—a slick trick to catch a flash of another man’s cards if you're dealing to wide-eyed sodbusters in some smoky backroom saloon in Iowa. But fair warning: try that kind of funny business in Tombstone or Deadwood, and you’ll be lucky to make it out tarred, feathered, and strung up on the next rail car headed east.
