PETITE HM STERLING SILVER & SNAKESKIN MOUNTED GLASS POCKET OR HIP FLASK - 1925




Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:29106Product: Hip or pocket flask
Composition: Solid Silver/glass/snakeskinAge: 1900-1940
Maker: James Dixon & Sons Ltd
Original Description:
For your consideration a quality vintage solid silver English hallmarked mounted glass hip flask with what I believe to be a snakeskin covering dating to the Art Deco era. The diminutive size of this example might suggest it was used as a ladies accessory and perhaps carried in a handbag or pocket. I have shown a size AAA battery in the picture above for size comparison. I have never seen such a small flask.

Please view the pictures above as they hopefully show all in detail....>
The silver mounted screw collar has the lion hallmark and the removeable screw top has full hallmarks that comprise the makers mark 'JD&S' for James Dixon & Sons Ltd, the crown for Sheffield, the  lion denoting sterling silver, and the date letter 'h' for 1925.

The flask measures 7.6 cms tall, with the top screwed on, and 4.4 cms wide.

The hip flask is in super condition. There are minor imperfections to the snakeskin covering with some discoloration, but it is completely intact. The top/collar again have surface scratches but no dents/dings. The top screws on nice and tightly.
The glass is free from damage.

A very interesting, unusual and scarce piece of English silver.

Free UK postage offered.

I have lots of interesting silver in my shop, please take a look
