My dear, departed Grandpa gave me some advice on flasks. "Son," he said, "The smaller your flask, the higher proof you should fill it with. You can always blend it out later." That was all he ever said on that subject.
Sounds like he covered all the "high" points on that subject.
Sensible man
Mine said the exact opposite. Bigger flask, higher proof
Smart man.
Wise man. Sounds like mine.
Sounds like an old Scots Irish saying to me, as well.
So much knowledge bottled up in this episode.
Thank you!
LOL!
This falls right perfectly into two things I love: The Old West, and unique glass bottles. I've actually been to events like ren fairs where they have glass blowing demonstrations so I've seen glass containers being made before..it's a rather interesting thing to watch as molten glass turns solid.
I've seen but could never do it. I'd inhale and it would all be over.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Same here, don't wanna chance it but dang if it don't look cool.
That dude at the end looks kinda shady Santee! I have quite a few old bottles I've found on the old farm, one it a bottle of formaldehyde, with some still in it! Cool video Santee!
HAAH! Thanks, Richard!
Yep, he's very shady. At least Santee didn't have to spend 3 hours in a car with the guy and don't ever let him navigate!
@@RichWhiteUM LOL!
Santee trading coffee for liquor 😂😂😂. When my girlfriend’s parents were remodeling their house, they found an old medicine bottle (amongst other things) in the walls! We even looked up the name of the druggist that was on the bottle! Not Old West (1800’s New England) but still really cool. Even the paper label was still in pretty good shape! Thanks for this great video!!
Old West or not, I bet bottles from that company made it out West, so....enjoy!
@@ArizonaGhostriders it’s possible! I’ll talk to her and get you the name of that druggist, his stuff was sold all over the place, especially in Mass and New Hampshire, if my memory isn’t failing me.
Thank you Santee for all that information about Old West
Flask and bottles for adults liquid refreshments. Now that I'll be "celebrating" twenty four years of sobriety, thanks a lot!! LoL 😂.
Uh....sorry! You can put tea in 'em!
ha ha ha... Squib Load is such a great SASS alias !!... my first choice was Full Monty, but someone beat me to it :-) Great vid this morning, thanks guys !!!!!
You're welcome, Joe!
Good morning Santee so this is where the term hipflask came from 🙂 bet they were a really really enjoyable thing to have back in the day out back on your horse.. a flask and a harmonica I can imagine it..good times. I loved the uv effect that purple did look super coolios..happy Sunday have an amazing rest of your weekend mate
Thanks. It's my understanding that antique sellers would put them in a UV lightbox to speed up the procedure.
Your CZcams videos always have a way of cheering me up. Plus squib load👍
Thank you!
The moons always shining especially when you got a flask 😉
LOL!
The in-depth explanation is very much appreciated, thank you
You are very welcome.
That was a really cool video. I always was intrigued by the vast varieties of flasks that were produced. I'd have to say that the amber color glass flasks are pretty nice looking. Why am I not surprised that Bill's flask is about a quarter of his size LOL 😆😆😆
Glad you enjoyed it!
I didn't expect to see a Supernatural flask, nice choice
Thank you!
Another wonderful video. You covered something I've always thought was pretty cool, flasks. I used to have a couple that belonged to my grandfather that he had with him in France during the war. Sadly I left them with a cousin when I had to relocate and she somehow lost them. Oh well long time ago now. Thanks for the new video, and kicking off my Saturday. Seriously. Your video are like the old Saturday morning cartoons I used to race to watch, something to look forward to. 😎
I really appreciate it. Hope those flasks turn up in a box sometime.
Nothing like a fresh cup of Arbuckles and a new AZ Ghostriders as I sit down to some double overtime.
YES!
Even better is Arbuckles in an Arizona Ghostriders coffee mug.
@@squiblift2019 YEHAAAW!
"Starkle...Starkle Little Twink". Anyhoo, CHEERS to you Santee & the the rest of your entourage !
Thank you!
Another great episode! I kinda needed a little entertainment today, been fighting a bad cold the past few days. Also, to any who happen to find themselves an antique flask with one of those pewter cups on the bottom, you should probably replace the pewter cup with a more modern replica. Antique pewter has a fair amount of led in it, and drinking from pewter is how a LOT of people ended up in asylums back in the day.
Yep!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Santee, what Lee Marvin movie was that? Seems that I've missed one.
@@auburn696 Cat Ballou
@@normanjones8649 Thanks!
Great info thank you! Hope you feel better soon!
That was flasktastic! Love your show brother!
Much appreciated! LOL!!
Here's mud in your eye 😀 Find here in the Southern Appalachians too. Trash pile treasures. Thanks for sharing another interesting one. 🤠👍
You're welcome.
That was pretty cool I love those different colored flasks. One thing you don't see much of today is people who can blow glass and make it the different colors. Thanks for sharing this with us. 🤠🌵
It's a pleasure.
Cool video, have seen where bottles had been found in outhouses from days gone by not broken and different colors. Thank you!
You're welcome.
My dad found one under an old outhouse back in the 60s when he was putting in a subdivision. I still have it. A pumpkinseed one with a poem in German on it about drinking.
Had no idea about flasks. Definitely something to appreciate and collect. Amazed..
Thanks and glad you learned somethin'
Another topic I do love Hell on Wheels for. Shows well off people like Durant drinking from crystal decanters or silver flasks. More often than not though we see Bohannon and Elam drinking from the same style of flask mentioned her with a metal base and leather wrapped top.
Good catch!
Great show
I am so happy you shared this video instead of keeping it bottled up.
Thanks. I feel like I drained the subject.
When the river floods around here one or two will still wash up lol testament to just how many there were I guess
Ohhh nice.
Very interesting. I don't think I have ever ran across any old flask bottles but on occasion I've ran across some old medicine bottles from the 1890s to early 1900s here in Oklahoma. Thanks for telling us a little more about them.
You're welcome. Bottles are definitely fascinating pieces or workmanship.
You're welcome. Bottles are definitely fascinating pieces or workmanship.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Yes they are.
Definitely learned something new this time. So basically the current pint bottle of your favorite at the liquor store has been around a long, long time. I was expecting a bunch of copper and pewter, not glass! But it all makes sense, now. Pretty cool!
Pretty much!
I have an old pumpkinseed flask that my dad found when he dug up an area under an old outhouse on a construction site. It has a poem about drinking written in German on it.
Ooo, that's a nice one
thanks for distilling this information, we really drank it up
I took a shot at it.
Cool episode. I'm reminded of my old hunting canteen that I still use after 35 plus years. My kids, who are all adults now, laugh at my old canteen. It's one of those old quart sized canteen that has civil war era like cloth wrapped around it's plastic housing. I think I got it at Walmart. They all use the bladder types. I tease them all and call them all weak sticks because they have to suck their water out. I just pour, Ha. Anyway, thanks so much my friend.
Whatever works, Ralph!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Ahhhhhhh ha ha ha... Yes Sir
Thanx Santee. Perfect timing as usual. We are in the market for a flask. The information in the video was helpful. I had no idea that many 19th century flasks were glass. I would have thought they'd be mostly metal. I found some reproductions on etsy. I might be able to get MK Outdoor Journal to make a leather jacket for it too based on the information in this video. If the flask doesn't come with a cork, I suppose I could use a wine bottle cork.
I had fun shooting the skits with you. The new intro is really good.
Thanks. You can buy corks anywhere, but a wine bottle would work fine! Yeah, we had fun!
when I had some work done on the septic system in the ground they dug up was looks to be a small sample flask still got it. great video
Very cool, and glad you have it.
Now that Squib Load is a big time actor, is he going to educate Hollywood? 😆
You'll have to ask him.
Can't have a liquor-adjacent video on the old West without Kid Shaleen.
That is true. But which clip to choose from??? That is the challenge.
Great video santee I still keep my flasks as collections to keep because well I love collecting historical stuff
Nice, Milton
Thanks for another great video. The Old West and Western glass are fascinating history.
Yes they are!
Glad to see you in such good spirits this morning. Another good video. Thanks
LOL!
I grew up in a house located on 4th Ave just north of Prince Rd in Tucson. Way back when we installed a pool we found out the house was built on an old landfill. We dug up all sorts of old bottles and flasks. I think we kept a few but it's been so long I doubt any of us have them anymore. I know I don't.
That is pretty cool!
I love flasks been collecting them for years thanks for the video
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
Go easy with that flask! I have no idea that was so much too be said about flasks! Thanks for the knowledge amigo !
You're welcome.
Great video, Santee! As long as I can keep tequila in my flask, I'll be happy!
-Desert Rat Rick
Sure!
Another awesome episode that's near & dear to my heart also Santee.
I always go heals
yeeehaw!
My Saturday morning jam. Thanks AGR
Morning!
I love that new intro Santee. It looks great!
Thank you!
Very interesting Santee. Over the years I have picked up a few bottles from the Era! Keep up the great videos!
Thanks for watching!
As usuall Santee, with every episode we learn something new and some thing new adds to the "must-have-list" :D. Keep up the amazing work you do and keep them videos comming. Yeehaww.
Awesome, thank you!
Love this i have a couple flasks always liked em even though i dont have any old ones. Have a good week santee.
Thanks, you too!
Wow the new intro is great, very high production value.
Glad you like it!
The actor who played Frank T Hopkins in Hidalgo had a glass flask with a leather covering and a string connected to a cork. This is an interesting scene and I highly recommend this movie Santee.
Love it, and couldn't remember if there was a flask in it. Thanks for the reminder.
G’day Santee, thanks for the videos and great facts about the West. All the best from Australia
You're welcome. Thanks!
I think you have hit on the only thing to make McCafe coffee palatable! Great video Santee.
HA!
Such a Great Show !
Much appreciated.
Talk about a tight lipped SOB. I can't believe our buddy Squib didn't tell me he was going to be in one of these videos! Wait until I talk to him again!
LOL!
Aww, C'mon Santee!!! My wife loves antiquing, like today; I may have to keep an eye out for a flask for those chilly mornings! Just what I need, start another collection... 😞
Oh yes! LOL!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Well Santee...I found 6! 6! COUNT 'EM! ...old whisky glass flasks!You're lucky they were a stea...um find...at great prices too! Now where🤔 am I gonna display these?!?
@@franks6857 LOL! 3 on shelves and 3 on your person.
Very cool! Wasn’t sure what was considered a flask back in the day.
Glad you liked it.
Oh, and as always, Another Great video!
Thank you!
Santee my friend thanks for being a true friend I really appreciate it iv got your back always I hope you try our family chicken curry what beautiful bottles misfit collecting santee sounds interesting full view as always hope one day to get 200 views a video never mind thousands of views now that’s a distance away take care buddy 👍
I do hope you get those views, John. You deserve them.
Interesting video. Lots of great information about flasks
Thank you!
Hi santee I just realized I have said hi on every video since the Remington revolver one thank you for keeping us entertained
You're welcome.
I forgot how beautiful blown glass is. My ex wife and I had a nice collection of blown glass, including flask's. Glass work's was big in Southern New Jerky, because of the sandy soil. There are old remnant's of the old kiln's in the Pine Barrens which is a forest unlike any other in the world. Near Millville NJ where they still blow glass theirs a place called Wheaton Village. Student's from Tyler college in Philadelphia go their to practice glass blowing. Tyler college is the art's school under the Temple university flag. Have a great day and excellent video.
Thank you. Love that you call it New Jerky.
Thank you Santee for this information
You're welcome.
@@ArizonaGhostriders 😃
whooodoggies....all these years I've thought of a flask as only being metal. literally, because that's what was depicted on TV and movies when I was growing up, metal flasks. AND now I've become edumacated learning about the glass kinds of the old west. thx. ;) ~.^
Yeah, and they are pretty strong, too.
Did you show us very old bottles like 1860 , you have so much to share about , " The Old West " , enjoyed it to the last drop , great but lastly you poured it in Coffee Mug , great taste . Thank you very much Arizona Ghostriders . Pune City India.
Thank you!
A very interesting video. And obviously it's a subject close to your heart. Or hip.
Yup. Thank you!
Thanks for another great video
Thanks for watching!
Very informative Santee. I did not know glass bottles were flasks too. I guess my education on such matters was stuck in the mid 20th century. Thanks for educating me. Skip
Glad to help, Skip!
That was a great episode. It did not know that the tint from the manganese devolopped over time.
It is a strange coincidence that today my new hip flask arrived. It is not quite period correct for the old west. Titanium might not have been common back then.
No, but use it in good health!
Santee, love your videos. Today’s falls on my 29th birthday and i just filled my flasks for my celebration tonight
Happy birthday! Enjoy the day!
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure!
Great video. Loved the intro.
Thank you!
I have an old bottle it had whiskey in it from the embossing that was found in an old barn 120 years of sitting there as it almost as as bluish purple as a Milk of Magnesia bottle.
Nice!
I wish that Arizona Ghostriders flask @2:17 was a real thing I could buy from you! Great video!
Maybe one day!
Great video, everybody needs at least one good flask!
I'd say
Loved it!!!
Much appreciated!
Awesome job. there is no stopping you with all the knowledge you have. Some of the very small flasks were also used for Laudanum. You definitely are the man.
Great point! Remember, I research all this stuff, and I hope to remember it.
@@ArizonaGhostriders
maybe you can do one on Match Safes. Those little silver cases that hold matches.
@@billlongiotti9533 Of course! I own one.
I could send you a photo of my match safe also, plus my tiny Laudanum flask.
Just Bill
John have you done one on prices in the Old West? I’m watching Bad Company and he paid $2 for a hotel room. It made me think it’d be neat to know what whiskey, dinner, hotel rooms, revolvers, rounds, property, state trips, etc would’ve really cost back then. Seems like it’d be some really interesting history for people.
I intersperse prices in specific videos, but nothing on a broad spectrum. When I do hotels I will mention prices (providing I can find info on that). Thanks!
@@ArizonaGhostriders I’ll be looking forward to the hotel video! That’s a great topic too.
Now that's so delicious history
yes.
Loved the video, Santee! I have a handful of modern-day flasks. Ironically, I don't actually use them. Just have them around. (Yeah, I collect a bunch of different things.) Good to hear that the ones from the days of the Old West are common enough to find today, without costing an Arm and a Leg.
BTW, not sure where you hid that flask where Bill couldn't find it. But great hiding spot! Finally got to enjoy some that whiskey. *:D*
Thanks!
I love finding old flasks I have several some glass some porcelain, some metal always ay treat to see them. Porcelain ones can act as a decanter.
Yes! Cool
Very cool and informative video, I really liked and enjoyed it. I definitely learned a lot about flasks from the old west. I’ll probably add flasks to my old West inspired novel I’m writing, that is set in the far distant future during the year 8588 on the alien planet of Archaeiya in the futymystic galaxy.
🤠
@@ArizonaGhostriders thanks 👍🏼🌟😎
I used to carry one on the trail back in my ranger years
Yeehaw
Pretty cool!!
Thank you!
Happy New Year
You too!
My dad bought a flask for me, It came with a tiny funnel, I put so much soda in that thing.
I mixed sprite, dr pepper, fanta, crush, Sometimes even fresca or coca-cola (but i prefered the bottles because it felt more original to me.
Cool!
You do know Santee that if you mix whiskey and coffee it's basically a Irish Coffee. You are just missing the foamy cream and sugar rim. Great stuff on a cold day, heck any day.
OH I KNOW!!!!!! Nobody needs cream when you got the whiskey in it.🥃
Santee please do one on axes and lumberjacks of the Old West
I will.
Nice way to start a weekend aye santee??? Cheers gunslinger!!!!
Thank you!
Santee, I seem to have misplaced mine. Can you ask Bill if he seen it? Or even better can you just get him to take Dirty Dan's and bring it to me? XD Another great episode, Santee. I look forward to these every Saturday. They make my day.
LOL!!! Thank you!
Its a little early to be drinking Santee Great video
You got that right!
Cool stuff. I didn't realize that most of the flasks were glass. I only thought about the medal ones.
Little of both, but more glass I suspect.
I figure the glass ones do not affect the taste if the contents remain in the flask for a long time. Even modern stainless steel ones have a note telling you not to store anything acidic in them. Glass is totally inert-- metal, not so much.
Nice video as always
Thank you!
@@ArizonaGhostriders i Thanks you
Funny, my first thought was powder flask…. But these are good too👍
That's why I put pictures of liquor flasks on the thumbnail. Glad you liked it.
This channel is so addictive
Why thank you.
@@ArizonaGhostriders you are very welcome
Note to self, research what types of flask designs were popular in most regions of the ol west.
Again great vid!
Thank you!
Nice job, Santee! Any stories of broken flasks during bar room brawls or gunfights?
Not that I know of....but I would bet one may have stopped a bullet.
Cheers everybody!
Yep!
No inherited flasks in my family. Scots-Irish on Dad's side so the barrels would be awkward to pass down. French Canadian on Mom's side going back to the family being voyaguers and involved in different fur trading companies. They used brandy for trade.
Good family history.
Cheers!
Thank you!
I've got a Jacob Bromwell copper flask which I highly recommend. They've been making copper and tinware in Vermont since 1819.
I bet they are nice.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Very, with a price tag to match. I got mine half off on a fourth of July sale a couple years ago.
If you like unique glassware you should take a look at old telegraph pole insulators along railroad tracks there are a bunch of different shapes and colours
Yeah, those are plentiful and really neat. I should grab one...
