This American flask has been tested for watertightness and is ready for use.
To ensure this antique silver hip flask remains water tight, the cork should be moist and therefore fully expanded to provide an effeCtive seal.
There are two recommended methods to ensure that the cork does not dry out and shrink:
Method One: Keep fluid in the flask at all times, and keep the flask on its side to ensure the cork remains wet.
Method Two: Fill the flask to the brim with fluid and close. Leave it like this overnight, or for 24 hours if possible, before use.
