Description:
A Boche Patent Spout flask of Lanthorn horn with the brass base marked "12" no doubt for the shotgun gauge. The engraved letter on the neck appears to be an "A" and a second initial on the reverse side. The panels of this horn were attached with small copper pins. The pouring head is the Boche Patent shown on Pg 152 of The Powder Flask Book" by Ray Riling. It adjusts on each side with a clear center window to expand your charge. The pouring spout is marked "R.W./Patent" which I believe is for the spout alone. An old woven green carry cord is mounted in the 4 brass rings. Riling reference # 1139 -1140. There are some minor nicks in the horn and a crack in the wooden ring on the spout. A super fine condition horn flask.
