This handsome stainless steel needlepoint flask is sure to get the party started (or keep it going) with style. The navy needlepoint with Democratic donkey detail is trimmed with full grain leather and is permanently fixed around the flask. There is not a better accessory for your back pocket, wherever the party may take you. CHEERS!

The origins of the Democratic donkey can be traced to the 1828 presidential campaign of Andrew Jackson, who ran on a populist platform (by the people, for the people) and used a slogan of “Let the People Rule.” Jackson’s opponents referred to him as a jackass (a donkey). Rather than rejecting the label, Jackson was amused by it and decided to use the image of the strong-willed animal on his campaign posters. In the 1870s, influential political cartoonist Thomas Nast helped popularize the donkey as a symbol for the entire Democratic Party.
