Original U.S. Civil War Era American Flask & Cap Company Embossed Copper Powder Flask “Dead Game”
-
Original Item. Only One Available. This is a stellar embossed copper powder flask manufactured by the American Flask & Cap Company, which was a short-lived manufacturing company that only produced flasks from 1857 until its dissolution in 1865. This example features a quite macabre scene of “Dead Game”, several hunted animals hanging upside down to “dry”. This depiction is on both sides of the flask.
The flask is marked on the cap AM. FLASK & CAP CO.. The pouring cap has the desired powder amounts stamped on to allow for proper pour rates. The cap screws on and off perfectly with no issue. The spring is unfortunately broken, so there is no pressure when pushing back on it, but the hole still opens and closes. There is no powder remaining in the flask. 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! The flask measures roughly 8” in length.
