Civil War Era SYKES Patent Powder Flask with Adjustable Spout

Except for a dent on one side - this is in fantastic condition. The spring action lever works perfectly to adjust how much powder comes out and the top screws off easily. I can remember my father taking me down to an antique store (Lenas) in Kentucky to trade something I had gotten at an auction for it. That was 54 years ago - I was 14! Trying to downsize a little - got a lot to let go of! And that rope was on it then - so if it’s. It original - we know it’s at least a half a decade old! The Civil War Era SYKES Patent Powder Flask with Adjustable Spout is an original period item from the United Kingdom, specifically designed for military use during the Civil War. This collectible piece of militaria holds historical significance and showcases the ingenuity of the era. The adjustable spout feature would have been particularly useful for soldiers on the battlefield, allowing for precise and efficient handling of powder. This artifact provides a tangible connection to the conflict and adds value to any Civil War memorabilia collection.
