A 3 1/2 in. and a 5 1/4 in. clam-shaped flask marked "Pat. Apl. For." A 4 3/4 in. scallop-shaped flask with worn paint and a "Tony Faust" 5 in. oyster-shaped flask. Other oyster flasks like this have "Faust" engraved on the top of the metal cap, this one does not have its cap, so the Faust is attributed. In the second half of the 19th century, in St. Louis, Tony Faust had the largest Oyster House and Saloon in the Mid-West. This flask could have contained liquor or his famous oyster sauce.
Provenance: Richard and Lynn Gove Collection
