Flask and Retractable Shot Glass...How old?

[cowboykelly]

This flask was given to me by my grandfather, which he recieved from his father I believe. I'm only 23, keep that in mind. Don't know how old it is, so here it is. It has no makers marks that I can see. I've been over it quite a few times. Wasn't sure if it might be silver or not either, no markings to indicate it as such. The lid screws off and pops out to form a retractable shot glass. On the bottom of the lid (also the bottom of the glass) is what seems to be a piece of wood or even cork placed in there to help the lid seal better. It has definitely seen some use over the years too. I'm not sure but I think I caught a faint hint of whiskey when I opened it, and there is no telling when the last time it was used cause grandpa never used it. Thanks for looking!

Reminds me of something I've seen from the 1940's. Possibly silverplate.

I concur w/ PBK . I still wonder about the age though. Let's hear what you find out.
