A lovely small pewter flask made in Sheffield, England. This flask is smaller in size as it only holds 4 ounces (created to fit easily into a small area such as a purse or a boot or a pocket). This flask features a smooth pewter exterior and a screw on cap and is oval in shape with a round dome screw on/off cap. It's pewter is vibrant and shiny (we had a tough time capturing photos without picking up reflections of other items ie ceiling beams). Surprisingly heavy in weight for its small size. Truly a lovely flask.
Condition: Good vintage condition overall with mild signs of age. This flask shows minor what we refer to as general surface wear (from past handling, etc) that can include micro fine scrapes, etc. This flask was hand-forged and along the edges there are some indentations (we don't believe they are dents but they occurred during manufacturing). They are very subtle.
**Please Note: we typically do not test our flasks for leakage. We offer a variety of vintage flasks (both usable as well as collectible/display only). We are happy to put our flasks through a thorough leakage test (which involves filling it with liquid and rigorously shaking it) -- please message us if you'd like us to test this particular flask. Cheers!
Hallmarks: The ounce capacity (4 oz) can be found on the lower right hand side and there are a series or trio of hallmarks on the upper front (that indicate the English origin of manufacture). Please see zoomed in photo.
Measurements: Approx 4 1/2" tall x 2 1/2" wide
