Puckering's Antiques

Description

A magnificent and rare hip or spirit flask, rare enough that I have never seen one ever before quite like this!

Of course what makes it special is the sterling silver lid which when removed can be expanded into a drinking cup each section with partial English hallmark, quite extraordinary.

The flask is covered in a cognac coloured Crocodile or Alligator skin with a bright and glossy patina. The top is all made from sterling silver, the dimple in the centre of the lid keeps the hinged internal lid in place, gilded inside.

The silver is fully hallmarked for Birmingham 1911 and also has a Patent Number of 6699.

Excellent condition measuring 6 1/2" tall x 3 3/4" x 1 1/2".
