Three powder flasks, dating from about 1850, all civilian: A larger brass powder flask with scenes of hanging game on each side, including a hare, pheasants, and more, marked "AM. FLASK & CAP CO." This was a New York City company founded in 1857, that ceased doing business in 1865 (9-inches tall). A medium sized brass powder flask with a cockle shell design on both sides, stamped Dixon & Sons Improved Patent (8-inches tall). A small bag shaped plain powder flask for a pistol, unmarked but probably English made (4.5-inches). Processing and shipping within the continental U.S. $30.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance. Discounts given on combined lot shipping.

Condition

Good. The first two have broken springs. The first flask has some minor dents along the bottom. The second flask is very darkly patinated. The third flask works perfectly, and is darkly patinated. Please see photos.
