Early round wooden powder flask

[Pukka Bundook]

Adrian,

This flask in one of Michael's threads (below) has the same small pouch arrangement, but is slightly later.

However, in the engraving of the wall display, we see three depictions of flask with pouches Very similar to yours!

I thought these were for balls, but Michael thought them too flimsy, and more likely for wadding or cleaning material, (tow I suppose) and for small tools, worms and scrapers etc.
I still wonder, but sadly we can't ask Michael!

Wonderful acquisiton though, and sincere Congratulations!!

Richard.
