Description
Batty U.S. Martial Powder Flask
Handsome U.S. martial powder flask with the brass top bearing the maker’s marking “BATTY,” “SPRINGFIELD MASS.,” and the date “1856.” Additional inspection markings are present on the charging assembly.
The copper body displays an elaborate patriotic design featuring an eagle with shield, clasped hands within a star-surrounded sunburst, and a military trophy centered on a “US” shield. The raised decoration retains pleasing definition throughout.
The surfaces exhibit a warm copper-brown patina with scattered darker spotting, scratches, and handling wear. The brass top and spout show mellow aged coloration, with oxidation around the iron fasteners. Both suspension rings and the thumb-operated charging lever remain present.
An attractive dated example with identifiable maker’s markings and strong patriotic display appeal.
