Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Flask shape. Fairly crude tool finished top. Raised dots as decoration to sides of embossing. Pale Amethyst. About 10 oz size. 189 mm. 1900s

Very Good. The main thing is some calcium type stain inside which will probably clean out. Only light marks outside. Presumably some sort of Holy Water souvenir of French origins. St John Francis Regis lived 31st January 1597 - 30th December 1640) it is quite possible given the approximate age of this bottle that it is from 1897 and the 300th anniversary of his birth? Grade: 7.9 Estimate: $100 - 150
