This corn cob bottle I was told was a wiskey flask to sneek in to ball games. Is that correct? Sounds good, how about value? I have had this for years, can't remember where I got it.

I may be way off on this but I think this is an avon bottle that had lotion in it.
U are right livetoride, I have one just like it... With lotion in it. Avon bottle for sure...
I found these corn cob bottles, the husk is on the bottom not the top, and they have different caps. http://www.etsy.com/listing/44536036/golden-harvest-avon-corn-cob-husk

The cap fits perfectly.
