Marvelous Prohibition Era Leather and Brass Book Shaped Flask with Shot Glasses and Funnel antique calling card with birds England artist William Burgess (1805–1861)--Quite 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)
