Several other hip flasks are present, including examples with dark brown leather-effect, tan leather, and black crocodile-patterned faux-leather wraps; one is marked STAINLESS STEEL 4 OZ on the shoulder. A curved polished metal flask bears a circular maker’s mark containing the letters TAO. The assortment is completed by a small wicker-wrapped flask with red tape at the neck and a double-ended stainless steel spirit measure.
