A few pcs I found at the Washington PA show. On the way home stopped at an antique outdoor market. Picked up this Firecracker Flask for $74.... WOW. Very excited to have such a cool part of history. For those that do not already know this, this flask was made in honor of the death of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. They both died within hours of eachother on July 4th, 1826. This flask was made in 1826 and has Adams and Jefferesons name embossed on the sides. They made this flask between 1826 and 1830...from what I read. Way cool!! The pc does have a small crack. Oh well!! Quite a keeper!
