Maybe you’re all wrong and it’s not a priming flask at all, but a powder flask for derringers? Maaaaaaaaybe?

That's exactly what it is: to load for a pistolMaybe you’re all wrong and it’s not a priming flask at all, but a powder flask for derringers? Maaaaaaaaybe?
That is "cute."Last year a long time friend and hunting partner threw in the towel. He passed most of his hunting gear on to his boys but also a few things to me. This priming flask was in the box and I'd kind of forgotten about it but came across it today and thought it might be of interest to our members.
The maker is Sykes. Never heard of them before. It's well made and fully functional.

I have one and its perfect for the little NAA 22 magnum. Besides for priming the pan.
So I purchased one of the Ebay brass flasks and yes it leaks. Upon inspection I can see that the cause is a loose / sloppy fit between the bottom of the head and shutoff valve. My original pictured above has a much tight fit and does not leak.I have one just like it. The spring broke a couple of years ago and I had to make a replacement. Its one of my favorites.
