^Lot 1536 Pepper Tree Saloon Whiskey Flask CA - San Pedro,Los Angeles - c1915 - Saloon

Stunning 6” tall, tooled top, shoo-fly body type whiskey flask. Front embossed “Goudie & McKelvy/ Pepper Tree/ Saloon/ Agts. For/ Lewis Hunter Rye/ San Pedro Cal.” No maker’s mark. Amber glass, seven very small bubbles throughout body, one small pit under slug. Small scrape inside mouth. Beautifully clean with no chips or cracks. The Pepper Tree Saloon, which was owned by the Swedish sea captain Gustav Falk, was located on 6th and Beacon Street from about 1905-1915. This flask is highly desired for its “Saloon” embossing, and there are perhaps only 3 other half-pint size bottles of this type known to collectors. Any dedicated bottle or saloon collector would be proud to add this gem to their prized collection.
