Description: ITEM: Ham-shaped whiskey flask from the Foust Distillery in Glen Rock, Pennsylvania (late 1800s). Two-part mold; painted clear glass. This bottle still has most of its paint and original cork-lined cap – very rare to find. About 6” long by about 3-1/2” wide. Why a ham, you may ask? Well, they also made a turkey, a clam, a fish, some vegetables, and a cigar, so there was a whole novelty dinner going on to help retailers promote the brand... All dreamed up by the founder’s son Billy Foust (1838-1920). This would almost certainly be the craziest item in your bottle collection. Or perhaps your ham collection; no judgment here. 😊 CONDITION: There are areas of paint loss throughout – see photos. I have tried to show the worst areas. There is plenty of paint for the bottle to display nicely. Cap is in good shape; has original cork lining. Glass lip is ground; this is original to these bottles. See photos for condition details. SHIPPING: Shipped in a USPS Priority Mail medium box. If you wish to purchase more than one item, place all items in cart then request a total for combined shipping from your Purchases screen. (You may need to be on a tablet or laptop; the Request a Total feature does not always seem to function on the ebay phone app.) QUESTIONS? Please contact me with any questions BEFORE purchase. I reserve the right to reject bids from those with a preponderance of negative feedback. PAYMENT: Payment may be made by PayPal or other method through eBay. Payment must be received within 3 days of purchase or the usual unpleasant consequences will ensue. I leave positive feedback for prompt payment and good communication, and I appreciate positive feedback if you are pleased with our transaction. I strive for accurate descriptions and clear photos.
