POWDER FLASK
Maker unknown - Flat copper flask with a common spout top. Unmarked and with no carrying rings. The body is a flat unadorned panel with a border, similar to Riling's #494 but without the beading. The spring is an incorrect replacement. Solid and in good shape except for the spring and spout. The outer adjustable portion of the spout is missing, leaving only the short and fixed inner tube.

Powder flask donated to the Springfield Armory NHS by Tufts University (Victor A. Friend Collection) on 3 August 1979.

Friend's #A-24 - "Copper Powder Flask. 6 inch. Plain Flat type, with brass, graduated charger nozzle."

See, Riling #494.
