Original British U.S. Civil War Era 1850s Brass Powder Flask by Dixon of Sheffield with Unusual Tipping Charger & Original Carrying Strap

Original Item. Only One Available. This is a gorgeous Civil War Era powder flask featuring a decorative pattern on the exterior. 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 1/2” long, and has a very unusual tipping charger at the top, instead of the normal spout. The cap still screws on and off without issue, and there is research to be done into this charger. The spring in the charger is very worn so there is no longer tension when pushing the lever. There is no powder remaining in the flask. This example retains its original carrying strap. It’s near impossible to find these with any remnants of the original strap.

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!
