Lot 252: Two 19th Century Leather and Brass Shot Flasks

Two antique shot flasks of pear-shaped form, constructed with dark leather bodies and perimeter stitching. Each flask is fitted with a graduated brass charger nozzle featuring a spring-loaded lever-action mechanism. A white rectangular adhesive label is affixed to the body of one flask reading SHELBYS AUCTIONEERS LOT 252 01132502626, accompanied by a smaller white adhesive label bearing the handwritten number 12870. The brass components show a heavy aged patina and localized spots of verdigris. No maker’s names, marks, or country-of-origin stamps are legible on the leather or metal surfaces.
