Whiskey Hip Flask Antique Vintage Sterling Silver Vintage Fishing Nesbitt's

Description

A truly remarkable sterling silver antique vintage whiskey flask.  One-of-a-kind.  Photos tell some of the story, but additionally, it may have been custom made for Hugh
Nesbitt
as the cork in the cap clearly reads Nesbitt's.  Under the expandable drinking silver shot glass is the name Nesbitt.  It is THE font of the Nesbitt's company.  It is embedded under a clear rubber coating.  The story of the Nesbitt's company is extremely interesting and iconic.  I highly recommend spending a few minutes (or hours) researching the Hugh Nesbitt story. I feel this item may be the personal flask of Hugh Nesbitt, the founder of the Nesbitt's company.  From reading about him, it sounds like it would have been very possible that he had this flask made for himself and used a company logo cork, proudly making it a signature piece.  The flask was made many, many years ago and is one of the most (if not THE most) unique and attractive themes ever designed into a flask.  The condition is extremely nice and eye-catching.  It is heavy and is clearly marked
Sterling
.  The artistic cut-away raised etching is outstanding and draws you into the scene.
It measures about 5 1/2 inches from the bottom of the flask to the top of the cap when in a closed position.  The width is about 4 inches wide.  When expanded, the shot glass (cap) is just under 2 inches.  The threading is perfect and therefore the cap screws on and off flawlessly.  The condition is outstanding with no dents.  A top-notch collector's flask.  Likely that you will never find a rarer flask.
I have had this flask for many years and just recently have decided to possibly part with it.  I will consider attractive offers that are close to the listing price.
