Antique silver hip flask

Antique silver hip flask

Sold

Late-Victorian, antique silver hip flask in excellent condition. This flask has a slightly concave body to sit comfortably in a pocket and features a one-twist bayonet locking cover with an unusual sloping rear hinge, giving a more streamlined appearance. The hip flask holds 6 fl oz (180ml) of your favourite tipple.

Handy tip: prior to using for the first time, pour very hot water into the flask and turn upside down in a cup or bowl. The hot water will make the cork stopper expand and thereby provide a leak-proof seal when in use.
