A light but clearly discernible and original partial stamping (STIMPS) with the partial 1845 date and deep inspector OHP marking of Navy Lieutenant Oliver H. Perry (the son of Lake Erie, War of 1812 Hero, Oliver Hazzard Perry) on the flask neck clearly identifies this offering as an example of the rare Stimpson contract Navy flask. Held by collectors to be the rarest of a scarce category of U. S. military contract powder flasks, this 1845 dated Simson contract Navy FOULED ANCHOR, Oliver Hazzard Perry inspected flasks remains in pleasing all original condition with good evidence of period use while remaining solid at the seams with no separations, unscared or dented and fully functional with period suspension. With use through the Mexican and Civil Wars this flask will make a nice addition to any quality period military grouping or powder flask collection. [see the Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield collection (civilwarvirtualmuseum.org) for another example with the original cord.] Buy with confidence!
