Up for sale is an incredibly rare, historically significant piece of Alabama history: an original W.E. Everett Huntsville Hotel Bar half-pint whiskey flask.
This authentic pre-Prohibition flask dates precisely between 1897 and 1901, prior to Everett liquidating his stock in January 1902. The historic Huntsville Hotel and its famed bar were completely destroyed by a massive fire on November 19, 1910, making surviving artifacts from this specific saloon exceptionally scarce.
