These porcelain hip flasks commemorate the life of Admiral Lord Nelson, Royal Navy. On of the world’s greatest fighting admirals, he defeated the combined navies of Spain and France at Trafalgar on October 21, 1805. He was wounded and died before the end of the battle. His body was carried home on board his flagship, HMS Victory.
Legend claims that Nelson's body was preserved in a large cask of Pusser's Rum during the voyage home. In England, it was discovered that the sailors had drilled a hole in the cask and drank all the rum, thereby drinking Nelson’s Blood. The term, Nelson's Blood, continues today by Navy and history buffs as synonymous with Pusser's Rum.
These empty flasks are authentic, complete with original corks and solid brass screw caps. They are in excellent condition with no cracks, chips, or scratches.
A number of websites list these flasks at from $40.00 to over $140.00 each, plus shipping costs! Only $20.00 here!!!
