Until the mid 19th century, flasks were primarily made of glass, and often embossed with images or names. 'Historical flasks,' as they're called, were often used to commemorate events or to advertise everything from business establishments to politicians. The Masons, for example, adorned their own pictoral flasks with Masonic symbols. Most American flasks were made of clear or colored glass, although the British and others produced flasks in ceramics and metals. Flasks are valued based on condition, color, and embossed design.
