Powder flask and some relics

[john845]

I went out with a friend today to a spot we checked out yesterday. As far as coins my best find was the 1880 Indian cent. I also found a crusted wheat cent and about two dollars clad. I can't decide if I like the powder flask or the anchor clip better. Can anyone give me an age on the flask. It most be old because I found it in a small wooded area in the middle of a city. It most have been lost when that area was still mostly Forrest. The pocket knife is cool it is the smallest I have ever found. The oval piece is a pin it has a nice design on the front. I think the the anchor piece is a suspender clip. Correct me is I'm wrong if anyone can ID it please let me know. Overall a good day. The coins weren't what I wanted but I think the relics more then make up for it. Happy hunting everyone!!

Nice assortment of finds John. The "anchor clip" is kind of neat. Thanks for sharing...

I think you will find that the flask is in fact not pewter...

Try a little scrub on an inconspicuous area to see if I am correct.

I believe you have a Dixon & Sons flask.

IF in fact it is pewter...

You have a found a "rarer" version of a Dixon flask.

Nice digs BTW... Well done.

I can't ID the function but I would think its too heavy construction for a suspender clip.

Very cool old relics you scored. That anchor appears to be half of a naval sash buckle. That's a very cool item. Perhaps the other half is still in the area? Love the old flask too. I always love an Indian Head Cent. Great day out with a friend getting the good stuff. Well done.

Great find on the powder flask!!

I've found bits and pieces of them, like the racheting top, spout, etc., but never the body...one of these days.
