Here's some photos of a powder flask I aquired a while back. Does anyone have a guess as to it origin? My guess was Southeast Asian. But I really have no idea. The flask is made of brass with silver (?) decoration. Heavy duty, made to be used, not a tourist item. The leather straps are well over 100 years old. Any help most appreciated. Rick.
