A dozen powder flasks

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.

 

Thanks!!!!

 

Two of them are half full of shot and one has some black powder, lord knows how old.

 

Oh my.
Makin' some 'crackers' will you.

 

I particularly like the one that's upside down in the first photo. That's some nice.

 

Very nice selection.

 

That upside down one in the 1st pic looks like a balloon ! Love them.

 

My my, ain't dem purty! I sold several back in eBay's "I can sell anything" days.....unless I'm disrememberin' I got a right nice penny for 'em too.

Yours are very nice..................

 

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

 

ZOUNDS I wish I were you.

Be careful of what you wish for. The brain seems ok but the body is last century's model.
