Pirate or period drinking flask


Scupper

Recommended Posts

What kind of a flask would a pirate or sailor be using? Would it be a 1/2 pint or pint glass bottle? Does anyone know where to get a flask I can use with me outfit.

I'm getting tired of caring a quart bottle and having none left for a wee bit of comfort at the end of me journey. I do share and sometimes neglect to hold on to a bit for me. I always give comfort to my fellow scallywags.

You might try Jas. Towneshead & Sons. They have period pewter hip flasks.

Also Smoke & Fire Co. has period glass bottles:

Or if you have a Trader Joe's nearby go there and pick-up a bottle of Planters Rum Pyrate XO Reserve. It comes in a period style bottle.

Me mate just purchased a large narrow bottle of tequila. As soon as he finished with it, I pirated it for myself. With a nice leather holder, it could hold a quite bit of rum instead of tequila. :ph34r:

Ahoy Scupper,

I took off all the labels and was using it so I had to look high and low for it's name. I found one on Ebay. It is a smooth tequila, but the labels on the bottle obscure the bottle's beauty. Once I figure out how to post a pic I didn't pirate from another site, I will post one of it without the labels.
