About this subject
The thermos, or vacuum flask, was invented by Sir James Dewar in 1892 as a container for liquefied gases. The portable version for home and outdoor use became popular in the early 20th century, especially under the Thermos brand, which became synonymous with the product. The tartan pattern, originating from Scotland, became associated with winter gear due to its link to Scottish clans and tradition, as well as evoking comfort and rusticity. Vintage models like this one, with a Bakelite cap and vacuum insulation, are prized by collectors and retro camping enthusiasts.
