1904-1913, Security Distilling Company, Chicago, Illinois. 2 oz. flask, embossed: SECURITY DISTILLING CO. / CHICAGO, U. S. A.
No other markings on the flask. The flask looks to be hand blown in a mold, the lip has an unevenness to it, the seam go almost to the top on one side but not the other, there are no cracks or chips in the flask but there are some light frosted areas on the surface, the flask is about 4 3/4 inches tall, 2 1/4 inches wide and 7/8th inch thick. Lots of bubbles in the glass.
This company was listed from 1904-1907, 1910-1913 as Security Distilling Co. and from 1906-1910 simply as Security Co. The address was listed as 46-48 E Van Buren (1904-1905), at 37 S Water (1906-1910) and 69 E Water (1913). The company used the brand names "Father Joseph's Tonic Bitters" and "Security Whiskey"
