A Victorian silver mounted oval spirit or hip flask with clear hallmarks on both the side and the screw top for Glasgow 1873, Queen Victoria head, and makers mark for initials JM - there are several makers registered in Glasgow Assay Office with these initials around 1873, John Miller and John Muirhead being two possibles. The smooth silver base or cup is gilt lined and fits perfectly. The top half of the flask is covered in brown striped leather with cut outs for checking the level of liquid (presumably they were always half full!). The secrew top and lid are silver, hallmarked. The screw top works perfectly. There is some very minor shrinkage in the leather just under the screw top.Lovely quality with weight and substance, very tactile and still useful. Some shading on the silver is due to photography shadow - the silver is smooth and clear.We are happy to discuss your enquiries by phone, What’s App or email.
