    No real question, just more hoard stuff. And I asked for a metalware forum so lets fill it up a bit.

    I've never seen powder flasks before and think the decorative ones are lovely. I could see them being repurposed as lamp bases or vases.

    They are hunters flasks but may have seen military service.
    The smaller ones were likely used for a pistol.
