Flask for ID and Comment
A new addition to my collection is this quite large brass flask of unknown origin, and showing good age patina. It has traits of the Middle East but I would be interested to know its ACTUAL country of origin.
With cap in place it measures 8" and the "bowl" diameter is 4". The heavy suspension chain appears original but the chain which would hold the cap against loss, is missing. I suspect that the cap also doubles as a powder measure.
Your thoughts please Gentlemen and Ladies.
