Hello all, I picked up this 1880's strap sided flask at a thrift store today. The label is almost certainly a repro, but the flask is really nice - very crude, wavy aqua colored glass. I'm going to throw it up on ebay, notiing that the label is probably a repro...just wondering if anyone with a Worthpoint membership could tell me what this one sold for:

It's a totally different type and age bottle, which further reinforces the fake label thought, just wondering what it went for and trying to decide if the label should come off or stay on for listing. Thanks in advance!

Yeah, me too, and for $4 I couldn't pass it up. The label is definitely a fake, but the flask itself is sweet!
