Original U.S. Mexican-American War Era Pistol Flask with Powder & Patch Compartments & Bullet Mold - Powder Retained
-
Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. This is a gorgeous brass compartment pistol flask from the early 19th Century, which has a lovely overall design and construction. The flask is very small, roughly 4⅝ x 1½ x 1⅛”, and has three different compartments, one for powder, one for balls, and one for patches. The spout for the powder still works fine, and the small door for the balls still moves with ease. The flask still retains powder, and it appears someone filled the ball compartment with more powder.
The top of the flask has the spout for the powder and a small brass plate that covers the ball compartment. The bottom of the flask has an unscrewable base for the patches, but it is seized in place from age.
The included bullet mold is of the period and is for a small caliber ball, with no caliber marking we could find.
Comes ready for further research and display.
