Some Flasks & a Horn
« on: October 08, 2025, 08:49:04 PM »
For your consideration a couple of flasks:



Two flasks.  One on the Left is made from an elk antler, with what I believe is purple heart wood top and bottom. Brass spout from Track. Roughly 7" long. Makes a nice little pocket flask for priming, or for just carrying enough powder for a couple of extra shots. Could also keep it in your fire kit to be used to "prime" your tinder to make fire on those damp days (when you really need one. BTDT). $40 + $5 to help with shipping.
On the Right is a handmade priming flask. Brass, soldered down the back side. Nice little primer. Could also be used to "prime" your tinder, if needed. $40 + $5 to help with shipping.

A really nice Eight sided paneled horn. Nicely antiqued.  I was told it was made by a Scott Sibley apprentice in WY. (I forget his name --Chris Hersberger(?) ). Anyway, it measures 13" around the curve, and 8" circumference at the butt. Has a walnut dyed ticking strap. A double twist, perfect for left side carry--Nice if you're left handed, or just prefer to carry your horn on the left. $145 shipped.
If interested, I can provide more pictures on any of the above items. Will consider reasonable offers.
Thanks for looking.

Could I see the top of the antler flask? It looks lovely. Is there a stopper that comes with it?

Here's a pic of the tops of both flasks.


Another view of both. The antler flask has an O-ring in the stopper to seal it. The brass flask's top slides over the spout to seal, and is very tight. but not *too* tight :D
Thanks for your interest.
