Description:
AN EARLY & SCARCE "WALTON BROS." MARKED U.S. LIFE SAVING SERVICE POWDER FLASK IN FINE UNTOUCHED CONDITION. MADE FROM 1870-1890. ALL ORIGINAL AND COMPLETE. THE FLASK HAS A NICE BODY WITH TIGHT SEAMS. IT HAS A COUPLE OF OLD DINGS IN IT IS MARKED 'WALTON BRO'S. N.Y." ON THE SIDE OF THE LARGE CHARGER AND "AM. FLASK & CAP CO." UNDER IT. BOTH SIDES OF THE BODY ARE MARKED IN LARGE LETTERS "U.S.L.S.S.". THE FLASK HAS A VERY EVEN DARK PATINA THROUGHOUT IT. THE U.S. LIFE SAVING SERVICE WAS THE GOVERNMENT AGENCY THAT SAVED LIVES FROM SHIP WRECKS FROM THE 1840' THROUGH ABOUT 1915. THESE LARGE CHARGER FLASKS WERE MOST LIKELY USED WITH LINE THROWING GUNS DURING A RESCUE. THIS IS A VERY SCARCE AND DIFFICULT TO FIND U.S. FLASK THAT WOULD BE A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION!
