Lot 30: Whiskey Flask by Albert Emanuel

Even the toughest of frontiersmen occasionally need to be fortified. Albert Emanuel’s contribution to this year’s CLF Fundraising Auction will fit the bill.

Emmanuel has created a perfectly sized and tastefully decorated whiskey flask. The piece, made from flattened cow horn, measures 3 ½ inches wide and 5 ½ inches tall. One side of the horn features the inscription “Ye Mild Scot Aged Fine Whiskey.” The opposite side of the horn features a European stag mounted by engravings of a crown , a heart and a Scottish thistle. The engravings are further embellished with polychrome coloring that contrasts nicely with the white background of the horn.

Fitted with a cork stopper and lined with a waterproof coating of beeswax, this diminutive flask is ready for any Scotsman – or aspiring Scotsman – in need of a draught.
