DOMESTIC
shipping charges
INCLUDE
insurance. We have enjoyed shipping our items all over the world and are happy to offer most of our items to international buyers. Yet insuring International parcels is very expensive so PLEASE NOTE; we do
NOT
insure International orders unless winning buyer specifically requests this and we are able to provide an insurance quote. We do not falsify information on the Customs Form, such as a price other than what the actual purchase price is, so please do not request us to do so. We ship several times a week and send payment acknowledgments and shipping confirmations. Your prompt payment will assure a very quick turn-around time.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If our shipping charge is much more than the actual shipping cost, we will refund the excess so what
YOU
pay for shipping/insurance is very close to, if not exactly, the
ACTUAL
shipping costs! This is especially important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are rough estimates.
This type of flask is referred to as a PUMPKINSEED seed flask as they are shaped like a pumpkin seed.  In case you aren't familiar with these, they are a flat flask, not round or a sphere, something that the picture's don't really show.  Anyway, some of them have the word 'PICNIC' embossed on them, so they are also referred to as Picnic Flasks. Though these are found throughout the United States, they were most commonly used out west as WHISKEY FLASKS.   This one is actually a small
sample sized
version of this flask.  It held about a shot glass worth of fluid.
It is about as small as I have ever seen, this 3" size is smaller than any that we've ever seen, and we have seen VERY MANY of them over the years.
So it would be considered quite rare in this tiny 3 inch size!
And the 4711 embossing?   This was a super old cologne, very popular back in the 1800's when this bottle was filled.   A GREAT LOOKING little 'whiskey', 'spirits', or 'cologne' pumpkin seed shaped flask bottle
