Description
This compact 2-ounce pocket flask is fitted with a solid brass, removable spout head built to endure wear and allow smooth pouring. The small spout measures out about 15 grains of black powder, a quantity well suited for .31 or .36 caliber revolvers that were a common sidearm from the 1830s through the 1870s. Its copper body develops a natural patina over time, telling a silent story of years passed and use endured. A lanyard loop fixed at the base lets the flask be securely fastened to a belt or strap, keeping it within easy reach when the need to reload arises.
Flasks like this one were trusted companions to Colt pocket revolvers and other personal firearms during the mid-19th century. Their modest size and thoughtful design carried just enough powder for a day’s use on the frontier or in town, ensuring a quick reload in the heat of the moment.
