ANTIQUE STERLING SILVER & GLASS MEDICINE WHISKEY FLASK

Description

ANTIQUE STERLING SILVER & GLASS MEDICINE OR WHISKEY FLASK
MERIDEN BRITTANIA COMPANY 1850's  PRE INTERNATIONAL SILVER
I researched the mark of the Bird with wings and the letter "M" at the top of the mark.
The Meriden Britannia Company
was formed in 1852 in Meriden, Connecticut. The Rogers Bros firm was purchased by Meriden Britannia in 1862, thereby acquiring the 1847 Rogers Bros line. In 1878, they had a store at Union Square in New York City and a manufacturing facility in West Meriden, CT.   They were one of the original companies that joined together to form the International Silver Co. in 1898.
Silver parts alone weigh approximately 3.7 ounces
Measures approximately:   7" tall  x  3.5" wide  x  1.75" deep
Condition:  Tarnished--needs to be cleaned.  There might be some mild scratches that I cannot see with my eye that could most likely be buffed out.  Glass dirty.  Leather torn in one spot (see photos).  Cannot make out all initials inscribed on bottom (J. F. T?).
Item sold "AS-IS"--please see photos.
