Marvelous Prohibition Era Leather and Brass Book Shaped Flask with Shot Glasses and Funnel Alexander calder 7 1/2" tall x 5

7 1/2" tall x 5 7/8" wide x 4 3/8 deep

These are from a group of wonderful old handmade animals I found this past weekend in New Hampshire (and splurged a bit on as I think they're pretty special)--I believe from a Noah's Ark set

These meet all my criteria: quite old

original to them but I'm honestly not sure what purpose they served

Marvelous Prohibition Era Leather and Brass Book Shaped Flask with Shot Glasses and Funnel Alexander calder 7 1/2" tall x 5Quite a thrill to find this one, which almost (but definitely not quite!) makes me wish alcohol was forbidden so that I might stealthily hide it inside this beautiful book shaped flask! The exterior is leather with brass corners, the top of which twists off to reveal a spout, and the bottom of which slides off to reveal three nested brass shot glasses plus a funnel inside! The bottom of the shot glasses is marked DRGM (Deutsches Reichs Gebrauchmuster)
