The slug plate reads PACIFIC OCEAN HOUSE EJS SANTA CRUZ on this clear glass picnic style flask. This piece has no air vent holes, but has a footed base and a neatly applied single collar, un-ground top and very small cracks in the spout. Elijah J. Swift built the Pacific Ocean House, which opened in 1866 as a saloon and boarding house. At one time, it was the largest boarding house in the city. It burned to the ground on 7 October 1907. This very rare piece dates from 1878-1885. Listed in Thomas. - Feisel Collection -59231
