Hi, I'm new to this and have a question. I bought this vintage powder flask today with the intention of using it. I have to admit I can’t get it to work and I assume it’s just because I’m new and not a defect in the flask.
There’s powder in it, but when I depress the spring loaded top, nothing comes out. The spring seems to work and I believe it’s functioning. When I unscrew the spout, it looks like the photos below. I see where the powder is supposed to enter the opening, but it’s pretty shallow. There’s also a threaded bolt that looks like it is to adjust something. When the spout is depressed, it doesn’t look like there’s enough room for powder to flow past it. What do I need to do to make this work? Also, on top of the flask there’s another opening with nothing in it. What’s that for?
