Description
Victorian hallmarked silver and snake skin covered glass hip flask. The snake skin is really unusual in colour and pattern as well as being in excellent condition. Holds 1/4 pint 6 fluid ounces so a good size. Made by James Dixon & Sons Ltd and hallmarked in Sheffield. The cap has the date letter for 1896 and the cup 1902. Not unusual for the dates not to match as the fittings were made in batches and then put together when the flask was assembled or the cup has simply been replaced for some reason. It comes with a cork lined bayonet cap and removable cup. It's been cleaned and the cork has been replace to ensure it's as hygienic as possible to use. A lovely usable piece. Will be sent in a free gift box with a free funnel for filling. We are happy to answer any questions.
