POWDER FLASK QUESTION

Shansei45Shansei45 Member Posts: 409 ✭✭✭
On a silly whim I recently obtained four powder/shot or percussion cap flasks. I know nothing about flasks and own no reference material on them. I'm hoping someone can tell me just some basic info on these items. Below is a picture of the group. The small, round one has percussion caps in it, the others are empty.

The one marked CSA I believe may be original Confederate gear as someone has tried taping the leaking seam. As beat-up as it is, I don't think a modern-day reenactor or BP hunter would bother, but just send a check for a new one.

For reference, the tallest one is 7 1/2" long.

Thanks for any help. Best regards ~ ~ ~ Shansei45
