Anyone collect flasks?

Just came in with some vintage goodies. When I bought the lot I was expecting a reproduction flask. I’m not 100% certain but this may be a real one. Has steel screws and is totally unmarked. A few small dings on the body. Opinions?

Don't collect original flasks but have studied them some. Your flask looks original.

As you probably know replicas almost always have flat head brass screws holding on the top. The lever on yours looks like the correct shape and attachment. Replica levers are different shape and some have a modern investment casting circle on the top. Replicas will have foreign metric size threads on the screws and spout.

That’s what I was thinking also. The flask is in such nice shape suspect might have came from a cased set. We see this one reproduced so much that a real one is questioned. Adding to my little assortment of powder flasks
