The Story

Original Item. Only One Available. This is a gorgeous Civil War Era powder flask featuring a plain body. The flask was made by James Dixon & Sons of Sheffield, one of the major British manufacturers of the Industrial Revolution.

The flask measures approximately 8” long, and has a very unusual hinged covered spout at the top, instead of the normal spout. The cover looks like it was meant to attach to something else, but it slides off of the throat and doesn’t latch in anywhere. The cap still screws on and off without issue, and there is research to be done into this spout. There is no powder remaining in the flask.

This example dates to the Civil War period. A very beautiful flask that will fit well into any Civil War or 19th Century firearm collection!
