The Powder Flask Book by Ray Riling.

The definitive reference book for the identification of original powder flasks, it also gives an excellent exploration of the history and relationship between powder carrying accessories and early arms, from tins and horns for matchlock through boxes for paper cartridge. This is an indispensable resource if you collect, have a casual interest or want an uncommon book in your library to sit next to your volumes from Shumway.

This is the 1992 reprint which, other than the copyright info, is identical to the 1953 original printing. Just under 500 8 1/2 X 11 pages, with uncountable photos and illustrations. The book is in near-new condition, actually much nicer paper and binding than my copy from 1953.

Asking $85 $65 shipped in the USA. I will consider international shipment, with buyer paying $80 $60 plus actual cost to ship. I can take PayPal FF, money order or your personal check. Please PM for details.

I can not believe no one has jumped on this, this book is the collectors bible for powderflasks

I already have one or this would be sold already.
Yes but there are errors the' Courtship & Children'&' A hunting we will go' are not cast they are electro formed minor point I've not seen the new book by Ian Ford & De Witt Bailly just some old drafts but I believe it will be as well valued as Rilings classic . Rudyard
 
The fairer half is going through the house asking why I have 2 of some things, so how about $50 shipped?
I have that book I just noted the' Boom Stick ' name I was a Boom stick borer of linked logs into a floating fences the long but thinner logs we called Boom sticks Ide ballance on the logs in my Calked boots to aligne the ends so to link them the' Show 'was at Cumsack creek up Bute inlet BC . and come full moon we the Boom men would tow them down to linkup with the big rafts of logs to be towed to the mills .Never fell off into the Salt chuck , But ide come down the Homathka River from Tatla Lake via the Mosley Muzzle loading rifle of course ! So I was fit as a buck rat .
