A delicate, small-sized powder flask measuring just 2-3/4” by 1-1/2” and likely intended for a small pocket pistol or revolver. The body is embossed on both sides with a narrow, fan-shaped or scallop seashell design that crosses over into the foliate, with the elements becoming drooping fronds, with somewhat bulbous tops, showing channeled borders, and with three raised dots of decreasing size in a straight line up to the collar at center. The body is solid, with no dents, good seam, and warm brown lacquer finish showing just a few tiny spots of verdigris in recesses of the fanshell. The brass collar and spout have a pleasing medium aged tone with one small stain on one side just above the three raised dots. The top shows a bit brighter. The spout shows some rubs and scratches. The thumbpiece is in place. The circular spring is missing, though its screw and the hole for the steady pin are in place. This was a very popular Victorian design element with powder flasks exhibiting quite a few variations on it.   [sr] [ph:L]
