This George V flask retains the original full hallmarked detachable push fit drinking cup which features the original gilt interior, this drinking vessel is a large example for its type.
This flask has been tested and is water tight and ready for use.
To ensure the flask remains water tight, the cork should be moist and therefore fully expanded to provide an effective seal.
There are two recommended methods to ensure the cork does not dry out and shrink:
Method one: Keep fluid in the flask at all times, and keep the flask on its side to ensure the cork remains wet.
Method two: Fill the flask to the brim with fluid and close. Leave it like this overnight, or 24 hours if possible, before use.
