18th Century Bone Hunting Powder Flask , C 1780. Scrimshaw Decoration.

18th century

Sold by Curious Antiques

Description

Antique 18th century deer bone hunting powder flask, 1780. This is a quality old example with great scrimshaw decoration depicting a hunter on one side and a stag on the other. It has a small metal ring presumably for hanging off a belt or clothing. The colour /patina is wonderful and clearly shows its age. Overall condition is good with only minor surface wear / small losses/chips and cracks , all as you would expect from a piece that is 250 years old. I assume at some point it would have had a wood/material bung in the bottom? Please refer to the detailed photographs and feel free to contact me with any questions or if you would like to view the item.

Price includes FREE UK shipping.

Size: 14 cm long x 8 cm wide x 6 cm deep . I will happily ship worldwide.
