    This vintage Thermos came with a vintage cooler I recently bought. Thermos made these from 1953-1955. "A BRAND OF VACUUM BOTTLE" is embossed on the bottom of the Thermos bottle.
    The plastic has a look of pre 1970 plastic. It is said that pre 1970 plastic has a flatter and more pleasant look is because it contains lead. This may or may not be true but vintage plastic does have a different look.
    This Thermos is 13 1/2" high and holds one quart. Inside the top cup are two other smaller cups. The bottle is glass lined and usable.
    Special thanks to aghcollect for the information as to the date.
