Hello all,
Thank you for your response. TVV, the baldric has been added by the current owner of flask. Body wood seems to be very old, with wonderful patina. I don't think it's water flask, because of round "lid" in the back of flask combinated by kind of glue (?) - undoubtedly original, but unfortunately not visible on picture. Anyway, it does not look as waterproof. Best regards, Jamaz. |

Here are a few for comparison. Notice how they are carved from a large burl and plugged in back

19th century could be earilier but I do not think so. These were not made for tourist trade.
