Louis Taussig & Co., 205 and 207 Battery St., San Francisco. Amber pint small double roll applied top whiskey. Embossing in circular slug plate. No dings scratches or detractions visible. Thomas number 59. The flask is one of two different Taussig embossed amber applied top flasks. Thomas estimated less than ten known, and when the new addition was published in 2002, the numbers hadn’t changed. Taussig was a prolific whiskey manufacturer, especially by the turn of the century. His early embossed bottles from the 1880’s are quite rare. He stepped up manufacture of the bottles in the nineties through the early 1900’s, getting widespread distribution all over the West, particularly in Nevada and California mining camps. This is a choice example of a rare western whiskey flask. City: San Francisco State: California Inventory Number: 38922
