Original U.S. Revolutionary War - War of 1812 Era Pistol Flask with Ball & Patch Compartments

Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. This is a gorgeous brass compartment pistol flask from the late 18th Century, which has a lovely overall design and construction. The flask is very small, roughly 4⅝ x 1½ x 1⅛”, and has three different compartments, one for powder, one for balls, and one for patches. The spout for the powder still works fine, and the small door for the balls still moves with ease.

The top of the flask has the spout for the powder and a small brass plate that covers the ball compartment. The bottom of the flask has an unscrewable base for the patches.

A truly gorgeous example, one of the oldest we have had. Comes ready for further research and display.
