Hunting accessories were popular in the 1830s. This included powder and shot flasks in copper and brass, leather shot pouches and hunting belts. Other sporting goods such as wine and spirit flasks, as well as sandwich and cheese boxes, proved to be very popular with consumers. The line continued to expand as firearm technology progressed. This quality flask falls into the hunting category of flasks (see page 255 of The powder flask book by Riling for a similar example). This is an excellent, copper and brass, gun size, black powder flask which is deeply embossed with hunting decoration to both sides. Both designs have even aged patina. The top brass charger has no measurement adjustment and spring lever which is fully functioning with a strong action. The flask is 7” length and 3” at its widest. The copper body has a minor dent to one side. The price for this attractive flask includes UK delivery. 22490:3 (Flasks Drawer)
