Hi Pat,

Would that be a Moon Flask?

Hi Trev.

Sure does look similar to a moon flask.
However, the book has a different name for it.
Here, in the U.S., the term moon flask generally applies to pottery or porcelain pieces.

A pilgrims flask?
.

[2209patrick]

My book calls it a "Pilgrims bottle".
However, it does say these are sometimes refered to as flasks.
