1866 PATENT GLASS / PEWTER FLASK - 7 1/4" In height.
Cap has "M.V. OLRY'S PATENT SEPT. 26, 1866" . I believe
the patent would have something to do with the spout and how it
seems to be molded right into the bottle. This can be seen in the
photos. Pewter cap and bottom cover (which when looking
through top into flask the markings of "OLRY & CO. /
PHILAD" is visible. Some bubble imperfections in glass. Overall
very good condition.

U.S. AGRICULTURAL ALMANAC FOR THE CIVIL WAR
YEAR OF 1862 - Printed in Lancaster, Pa by John Baer's
Sons, this 34 page almanac (6 5/8" x 8 1/8") was calculated
for the meridian of Pennsylvania and adjoining states, has
interesting stories, information on fruits, vegetables,
planting info., etc.. The almanac is soiled and has some
staining, along with some missing or folded corners on
some pages. Fairly decent condition though for a 145+ year
old item that no doubt saw heavy use at least for one year.
