Here's Mudville in your eye. You'll toast your good taste in grabbing these very rare turn of the century baseball whiskey flasks. Pair of ceramic NRMT antiques feature the same figure of a batter leaning into a tall bottle bearing the inscriptions: "A High Ball" and "Have a ball with me!" (Who could refuse that offer?) The original paint job of the batter's white uniform, flushed cheeks and and the bat-textured bottle is immaculate as is the entire presentation. The taller 6-inch flask with 4-ounce capacity is intact while the 5-inch model with 2-ounce capacity is missing its cork top. With a wink and craftsman's flair, this duo was perfect for portable potables back then, and is a very rare 140-proof dazzler now.
