$60.00

One of the rarest, if not the rarest, branded flask of 1932. Manufactured by the Konstantinovsky Mechanized Bottle Factory. No losses, chips, cracks.

With the outbreak of the war, aluminum flasks were discontinued due to a shortage of raw materials. Glass flasks began to be produced to replace them. Such flasks were used in the Russian Imperial Army, but they had a more angular shape. Nevertheless, OST №4047 on glass flasks existed, and was approved back in February 1932. Glass flashs were made of different color glass depending on the raw materials used. They had a capacity of 0.75 liters and 1 liters. A glass flask with a capacity of 0.75 liters weighed 450 grams, a liter one 80 grams more. The neck was usually plugged with a rubber stopper.
