19th Century American Pewter Flask
|
| Dateline: Early 19th Century |
Item# 33258 |
An early 19th Century American Pewter Flask with a screw top. It has no maker's touchmark but American pewter was often not marked by the maker as this was not required by law. It bears some engraved wrigglework initials on one side. They are quite rubbed and the third is unreadable. The initials are: I. W. ?. It is most likely to be American from the early 19th Century as wrigglework decoration continued to be used there at that time, while having ceased in England. If it was English one would expect it to be no later than about 1700 in which case there would be touch marks. It was obviously made in two pieces because there is a seam mark around the outside. The only other markings are two faint "bulls-eye" marks in the centre of each side. If you would like a more detailed condition report or additional photographs, please don't hesitate to email me.
Condition: Fair. 'Well-used'. Some shallow dents, the top being slight bent over and with some old corrosion. The front and back of the body are 'dished' - possibly by design. The screw top has small dents. The original cork stopper is present. As previously stated, the engraved initials are rubbed. In my opinion, all of this is commensurate with its age and usage - it's 200 years old.
Dimensions: It measures approximately 4 1/2 inches(11.5 cms) in diameter across the body.
Weight: Approx. 15 oz (425 grams).
