Metal gun powder flask. Another item I found in a ravine, caught up in tree roots. I would like to learn anything about its history, if possible from photo. Thank you!

Considering the hanging ring is on the bottom, indicates that it is probably a shot flask.
Interesting! Thank you :) How old do you think it is?
Probably very early 1800's thru maybe 187o's.
Thanks!
I believe the largest producer was DIXON in the UK. Many or most found in the States are Dixon. Their stamp would be on the blank side near the top.
buss has it-- I would date it to the middle/ late 19th century due to the decoration on the side.

If it is a Dixon, their markings changed & you can narrow down the date by that.
