Nice powder flask! Many of the CSA soldiers had to use flask like these because of the poor economics of the South. Was it near a CW battleground or camp? Breezie

Actually found it in Northwest PA. whikle back home over Easter. It was in the yard @ an old home that my family owns. First time I ever hunted it, and pulled this and a few nice mercury dimes in about an hour of hunting. Hopefully, I will be able to hit it again in July.
