Description:
Antique Two-Tone Embellished Copper & Brass Fluted Powder Flask – Marked G. & J. W. Hawksley (Sheffield, England) – Pre-Civil War Era
This antique two-tone powder flask is a fine example of 19th-century English craftsmanship, marked G. & J. W. Hawksley (Sheffield, England). It features an ornate fluted copper and brass body, showcasing the elegant design and durable construction that made Hawksley one of the premier manufacturers of the period.
Measuring 9½ inches long and 9 inches around the widest part, this flask is larger than pistol-sized versions, aligning with sporting rifles and shotguns of the mid-19th century. The adjustable drams markings (4 to 3) indicate precise powder measurement functionality, a hallmark of Hawksley’s commitment to both practicality and aesthetics.
Collectors will appreciate the two-tone copper and brass finish, a distinguishing feature of higher-quality Hawksley flasks. The fluted design not only enhances its visual appeal but also makes it more desirable than plain-bodied examples. Such craftsmanship reflects the artistry of Sheffield’s renowned metalworkers, whose products were widely exported, including to the United States.
