This early and quite rare, Black Powder Brass Powder Flask measures approx. 7 3/4" tall and 2 3/4" across at its widest point. The Flask features a pair of “framed” images – one depicting a hunting dog lying in wait and the other depicting a pair of what appear to be pigeons. The body is bulbous and the back side of the Flask features the same design.
The Flask features a three screw collar, a screw in cap and carries no manufacturer’s mark.
This rare and very attractive, 1850’s Black Powder Figural Powder Flask is in very good condition.
