Color Tinted Whiskey Flasks, Blair House Collection

These are three color tinted whiskey flasks made of molded glass that were owned by the Blair family. The first flask on the left commemorates George Washington. The middle flask commemorates the Spirit of the Union. The flask on the right displays a picture of the Union flag and eagle. Whiskey was the drink of choice in the Blair household. The Blair family resided in Blair House, located across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House. Visiting diplomats and dignitaries have historically stayed at Blair House while on official visits with the White House since the Franklin Roosevelt administration and is where the president-elect and first family reside prior to taking the oath of office.
