Description

Lot of Three Parker Hale Flasks and Three Powder Horns

All flasks measure 8" in length, and come in their original boxes. Two flasks are still in the original wax paper wrapper. Third flask is loose in the box. Aforementioned flask box lid features a sticker marked PARKER-HALE/POWDER FLASK/TYPE 7073S. The other two are Type A 3073C. The brass throat of the open flask is marked JAMES DIXON/& SONS LTD/SHEFFIELD and PARKER HALE LTD/BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND. Items are leather wrapped copper. Powder horns range in length from 9.5" to 14". Two feature iron tacked wood plugs with one featuring a brass plug with {Crown/Crescent Moon} pattern. One of these horns features contemporary engraving with a version of the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom above the motto DIEU ET MON DROIT with the central shield surrounded by the further motto HONI SOIT Q MAL Y PENSE. Another horn is engraved with scenes of a house in a meadow and a swimming fish.

Condition
Very Good. All flask cardboard boxes show some fraying and tears at the corners. Some tarnish forming on the brass, and some dust and scuffs to the leather of the loose flask. Powder horns show some scratches and age tinting, cracking to the edges around the plugs, and deep patina to brass components.
