    unique pewter item for black powder

    So found this. I'm not yet into black powder, but thinking one day I'll surely pick one up. This is being said that it's a black powder flask. But I'm thinking it'd be really hard to put powder IN it. What do you think? If it is...I'll buy it.

    That top part of the 'funnel' probably unscrews. Not sure what to make of the artwork on it, kinda makes it look kinda flower power from the 60's but I'd hang onto to it.

    My last computer had a right click option where you could click on a picture and find like images. I guess this computer does not have that option. Cool item anyway.

    If it is relatively small, think cigarette pack, it would be used for FFFFg powder for the flash pan. If the price is right buy it.

    That does appear to be used for priming powder for a flintlock muzzle loader.

    I see exactly the same one sold on ebay for $50 in 2015 so must be worth at least that......? Or maybe it never sold...not sure.

    I knew a guy back in the early 80's that had something similar to that. The lid unscrewed, and had a small spoon attached to the inside of it.

    He kept his coke in it.
