Gun Powder Flask

[woolshed]

I pulled this 1850`s Gun Powder Flask from the bank of a stream. Not complete and damaged, but was a nice surprise find. Also got a few old bottles. I have found parts of flasks before but never one so complete.



After a quick wash in the stream.



Parts that I have found before.



Cheers, Woolshed.

I would be check to see if you can find the spout, being that complete the spout has to be there somewhere, great find!!!

That's a terrific find! I got one last year. It's complete but totally crushed. Your flask is a good find in anyone's book.
