Description
1904 hallmarked silver and crocodile skin covered glass hip flask. The leather is a good colour and in excellent condition. Good size, it holds 4 fluid ounces 1/5 pint. Made by Frederick C Asman & Co with the cap and cup both hallmarked in Sheffield with the date letter for 1904. It comes with a cork lined bayonet cap and removable cup. The condition is excellent and the flask is liquid tight with no leakage. The leather is also excellent with no tears or splits. Surface marks to the cup and cap form age and use and small dinks to the cap but nothing you wouldn't expect to see on a flask this old. You can see in the pictures it's in excellent condition. It's been cleaned and the cork has been replace to ensure it's as hygienic as possible to use. A lovely usable piece. It will be sent in a free gift box with a free funnel for filling to avoid spills that will effect the leather. We are happy to answer any questions.
