Antique Sterling Silver & Glass Medicine Whiskey Flask

  
ANTIQUE STERLING SILVER & GLASS MEDICINE OR WHISKEY FLASK. MERIDEN BRITTANIA COMPANY 1850's PRE INTERNATIONAL SILVER. I researched the mark of the Bird with wings and the letter "M" at the top of the mark. The Meriden Britannia Company was formed in 1852 in Meriden, Connecticut. In 1878, they had a store at Union Square in New York City and a manufacturing facility in West Meriden, CT. They were one of the original companies that joined together to form the International Silver Co. Silver parts alone weigh approximately 3.7 ounces. Measures approximately: 7" tall x 3.5" wide x 1.75 deep. Condition: Tarnished--needs to be cleaned. There might be some mild scratches that I cannot see with my eye that could most likely be buffed out. Leather torn in one spot (see photos).

Cannot make out all initials inscribed on bottom J. Please do not say I overcharged you.
