We had a blue hot water bottle like this one…

1909 Austro-Hungarian 1/2-Liter Aluminum Flask

Picture

M086: This is a M1909 1/2-liter aluminum flask made in 1909 (first year of production) by Scholtz of Budapest.  On the neck of the flask is stamped: Scholtz 1909 M.D.2 1/2L. It was marked with the point of a knife by the soldier who carried it: TM 193.  The flask was purchased in Kolobrzeg, Poland in 2004.  It was dug up in a battlefield by Marcin Bertman.  The bottle is in very good to excellent condition.  For reenactor's use, a new cork and string was added and the flask was lined with beeswax so it can safely and sanitarily hold water again. $50.00    SOLD
