Mexican-American Civil War Era Batty "Peace" Black Powder Flask
Description
Mexican – American War and Civil War Era Batty Peace Flask measures about 8.25" tall, 4" wide and 1.5" deep. The name of ‘Batty’ is widely known in flask history since his "Peace" flask product enjoyed the longest run of manufacture of this type flask, covering 1847 to 1858. This fine condition ‘Batty’ flask exhibits the conventional tear-shaped copper body that bears a military motif design. One of the most attractive of all embossed flasks. An American Heraldic Eagle perches on arrows and olive branch above an oval of stars that surround a pair of clasped hands within a sunburst. Below is "U S" on a shield which overlays a trophy of arms, instruments, helmet, and banners. One carrying ring is missing, has an adjustable spout. Thumb piece and spring are in place and functional. Details are worn from years of actual use and handling, having a pleasing natural patina. Both sides having dents and signs of age and use, see photos. In house shipping and larger delivery options available on most US lots/ invoices. Call for questions
