A large, custom-commissioned sterling silver presentation flask by Tiffany & Co., richly engraved with a detailed figural scene of a horse-drawn carriage flanked by trees and observers. The reverse bears an ornate intertwined monogram—likely “N L F”—framed in dense scrolling foliate designs. Both front and back lower panels feature crossed bugles and laurel sprays, suggestive of a ceremonial or military affiliation. The flask includes a bayonet-style hinged cap and a detachable bottom cup, with the base engraved: “Feb. 25th, 1897.” Marked on underside: “TIFFANY & CO. / 7380 MAKERS 7016 / STERLING SILVER / 925-1000 / C.” Height: 7 ¾ in.
