Lot 291 Antique Powder Flask Vintage Metal Flask & Measuring Spout - Hawksley English Made1840
Powder Flask Vintage Metal Flask & Measuring Spout - Hawksley English Made1840
Appears very old and well made - is not Magnetic so probally Brass or Copper..
Has the words G & JW Hawksley Sheffield stamped into top..
At first glance, I would say it is real.
Geo, & J. W. Hawksley Ltd was a company in Sheffield, England and produced
powder flasks from approx 1840. In 1847 the company was bought by James Dixon
& Sons and continued to produce flasks up until 1916.
I don't know if they dropped the Hawksley marking on their flasks after they were
bought but I would assume they did. That would make the date for this flasks
production sometime between 1840 and 1847.
