Hello all, flask from Europe, unsure of provence. Has adjustable spout & bottom valve. If not valuable will attempt to repair. What is something like this worth?
Thanks!

This flask is very similar to flask shown in Riling "The Powder Flask " No 960 page 377. It was probably made in England (Birmingham?) around 1840 - 1860.

Does it have any markings from the manufacturer?

How to repair or or re-solder seams was described by Martin Rywell in his boocklet "The Powder Flask" on page 80 and 81. Not easy to do, because it should be soldered from the inside.
