Original British U.S. Civil War Era 1850s Large Brass Powder Flask by Dixon of Sheffield with Original Leather 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 10” long, one of the larger examples we have seen. The cap still screws on and off without issue, and the spout functions as intended. There is no powder remaining in the flask. This example retains its original leather carrying strap, although it’s now broken and wrapped around the body of the flask. 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!
