Likely for charging a large caliber pistol, and probably civilian-made although unmarked. The American Eagle faces olive branches rather than arrows, so it is probably of post-Civil War design. Of only average quality, possibly with a replaced spout, this could be an original 19th century European-made flask for sale on the American market. From the Dick Reyes Collection. It is unknown if this item was from the original Custer Family Collection. It was not found in the box marked "Custer" that held small articles. City: State: Date: ID# 38044
