18th/19th Century Horn Powder / Shot Flask.

A nice 18th century to early 19th century powder flask. Provincially made from cow horn to hold powder or shot. It has blacksmith made iron fittings and the closed end is made of chip carved wood. It is in superb condition and has a beautiful patination, the horn and wood is almost black in colour where it has been handled over the years. its original stopper is missing, which is its only fault. A real provincial antique in lovely untouched condition. it measures 6.25 inches long.
