Base metal is … Unmarked as to manufacturer. Looks custom or preivately made. Measures 3 " diameter by a whopping 2 1/4 " thick. Choice excellent condition with appropriate aging. No trauma damage. Base metal is a hardened pewter, plated with nickel and then plated with silver, ( of which little remains ). Threaded cap has an inner cork gasket to stop leaks. Has a very obscure and well made hinged handle. Cap is also knurled. Looks circa 1850 - 1870 due its' bulbuous design. I have never seen anything like this one before. Most likley for brandy. If it were a powder flask it would have had a quick release measuring spout. Extremely rare as such. Museum quality. Price: $100.00 USD

Glass flask circa 1855-1865. From a high end collector. No cracks or chunks with original corked glass stop. Shows some minor junk stains inside the bottle that never came upon cleaning. The … Glass flask circa 1855-1865. From a high end collector. No cracks or chunks with original corked glass stop. Shows some minor junk stains inside the bottle that never came upon cleaning. The rim has a very small flake which seems insignificant . Needs more research as to who made it or what state it was made in. A rare piece of glass. Price: $99.00 USD

Circa 1860 - 1865. 2 pieces measuring a total of 74 " . No makers markings. Hickory wood manufacture. Nickel plated brass fittings. All original threading and twisted rope wrapped double handles. … Circa 1860 - 1865. 2 pieces measuring a total of 74 " . No makers markings. Hickory wood manufacture. Nickel plated brass fittings. All original threading and twisted rope wrapped double handles. The first line guide is a large trumpet line guide. The next line guide is a DOUBLE opposite sided trumpet guide. This was incorporated into the rod to allow for the possible bowing of the wood to keep the wood as straight as possible for as long as possible. The tip guide is missing and obviously would've been a double tip guide as well. ( I have currently tracked down a few replacement tips of this era but won't be able to get around to this " fix ' until late April. ) This rod is in superb choice excellent condition or better , minus the double tip guide. No damage or anything else to report. Even without the tip these rods are extremely rare. Billiard cue rods represent the highest class of fishing rod available in the United States during the Civil War era. Worthy of any fishing museum or serious collection. Despite not having the original tip it is what it is and hopefully by mid spring either this rod will be gone or I'll have it restored with a contemporary tip. Extremely rare. Price: $500.00 USD

Title says it all here. Circa 1860 -1880. Measures 3" inches high by about 2 1/4 " wide. No damage and in excellent condition. This jug says " remember me " on … Title says it all here. Circa 1860 -1880. Measures 3" inches high by about 2 1/4 " wide. No damage and in excellent condition. This jug says " remember me " on the opposite side of the handle very faintly. It was at one time painted on in a different colour paint wash but has now since been long washed or worn off. Most likley given by a soldier to his wife before going off fighting in the civil war. Could be British as well, which would mean one of many different colonial battles going on during that time period. An excellent example of hand blown milk glass. Price: $30.00 USD
