Antique Powder Flask Vintage Metal Flask & Measuring Spout - Dixon 1916

Appears very old and well made - is not Magnetic so probally Brass or Copper..

The word DIXON is on neck.. This leads us to Geo, & J. W. Hawksley Ltd
They were a company in Sheffield, England and produced powder flasks from
approx 1840.

In 1847 the company was bought by James Dixon & Sons and continued to produce
flasks up until 1916. I don't know if they dropped the Hawksley marking on their flask
after they were bought but I would assume they did.
That would make the date for this flasks production sometime between 1847 and 1916.
