Original Item. Only One Available. This is a gorgeous Civil War Era powder flask featuring a quite macabre scene of “Dead Game”, several hunted animals hanging upside down to “dry”. The flask was made by James Dixon & Sons of Sheffield, one of the major British manufacturers of the Industrial Revolution.
The flask measures approximately 8⅛” long. The cap still screws on and off without issue. There is no powder remaining in the flask. There are four small rings on the edges meant to hold the carrying strap which is now absent. This example dates to the Civil War period, but was likely meant as a hunting flask given the depiction. A very beautiful flask that will fit well into any Civil War or 19th Century firearm collection!
