Flintlock Pistol Novelty Decanters
This appears to be a pair of novelty decanters in the shape of antique flintlock pistols. Both decanters are made of glass with a reddish-brown tint to mimic wood and have metallic accents suggesting the barrel and trigger guard. The glass is molded to resemble the form of a pistol, with an engraved or applied design on the side of the "stock" featuring scrolling patterns. Each decanter has a red sticker with white text that appears to say "VINTAGE WINE CO." indicating the original contents or manufacturer. The decanters likely would have had stoppers to seal the contents, which are not clearly visible in the image. There appears to be some wear or grime present on the surface of the glass and the metallic parts, suggesting age and use. The overall construction suggests they are likely from the mid to late 20th century, a common period for such novelty liquor containers. The craftsmanship seems to be of a mass-produced quality, typical of novelty items. No discernible maker's marks or signatures are visible other than the sticker.
