This is a high quality, Maker hallmarked and dated, Antique early 19
th
C. sterling silver campaign Whiskey flask in an unusual small cylindrical shape. This eye appealing flask is completely hand made in the very desirable small size pocket flask size; 3 ½” tall flask x 1 ½” in diameter and is intended as a pocket flask, typically kept inside a jacket pocket. This is called a campaign flask as it was intended for a gentleman and sportsman to take along on any hunting, sporting event, for traveling or just carry for an occasional nip. The cylindrical body has a flat plate silver soldered to the bottom of the base which has slightly rounded edges. The mushroom shaped sterling silver screw cap has a slightly domed top with a collar on the top and bottom of the neck. The threaded screw top appears to have the original cork insert and secures the top to the bottle securely and appears it would hold liquid if used; but it has not been tested. The front face of the body has personalized initials in Old English script that appears to be W T C. Being handmade, this piece has a very slight undulations in the body as it was hand hammered from the inside. There are no real dents; just one small ding on the back side opposite the engraved initials. This piece seems heavy for its size, weighing 2 ounces or 55 grams. This piece has 4 Hallmark markings; CG is the Maker Mark of Charles Reily & George Storer / London. This mark was first registered in 1829, and the firm was in business from 1828 to 1850. The hallmark to the right is the duty mark with the profile of King George IV, used from 1822 to 1833. This flask was made in 1833, the last year this mark was used before the new Regency mark for King William began in 1834. The next mark is the Lion mark for .925 Sterling, and the mark S is the London date mark for 1833. The 521 and BB scratched into the base represent an inventory # and the initials of the Artisan/Craftsman of the firm. This handsome pocket Whiskey campaign flask was hand crafted by Artisans in Old England, remains in excellent condition overall with a very light, natural aged patina, and demonstrates this piece has been “put up” and well taken care of in its 188 years of age. Small pocket flasks from this period are quite rare in this condition. This would be great for any Whiskey or Spirits, gambling, or flask collection; and could still be used by any gentleman, sportsman, hunter, outdoors man, or sports fan; or use as a gift, decorator piece in any Man cave, office, or den.

SELLER'S RETURN POLICY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
eBay customers are protected when they are an eligible buyer, complete a purchase of an eligible item on a eBay's website, and purchase the item on eBay by using the "Pay Now" option, third-party checkout or an eBay invoice in one lump payment with a PayPal approved financial business. Buyers must keep their PayPal account in good standing. Buyers must show good faith conduct with the seller. Improper good faith conduct can include, but is not limited to, any means by which a buyer can attempt to unjustly benefit from the Seller's Terms & conditions or eBay's Buyer Protection plan. Moreover, good faith conduct does not include buyer's remorse, regardless of the reason. Returns will not be accepted such as changed my mind, found a better price, just didn't like it, Ordered by mistake, Arrived too late, etc. Returns will not be accepted and buyers will be reported to eBay when buyer makes
false
claims such as doesn't match description or photos, doesn't seem authentic, Doesn't fit, Wrong item sent, Missing parts or pieces, Doesn't work or defective, Arrived damaged. If you wish to take advantage of any of the issue resolution options available from the seller, you must have the business courtesy to discuss any potential issue within 3 days of receipt, and gain agreement with the seller prior to requesting a return through eBay, leaving feedback or initiating any online dispute process. By doing so, buyers commit to negotiate in good faith, and that they have not initiated any other form of resolution processing; including eBay / PayPal dispute process or credit card charge backs, or purchases where you have been or may be compensated by a third party. Possible buyer / seller resolution examples are: if seller and buyer agree that an item is significantly different than described and photographed, exchanging an item for a different item from the seller (whether listed or unlisted), credit from the seller against any current or future item, adjustment, trade, return, or any other arrangement that is mutually agreed upon between the seller and the buyer, and confirmed in writing via eBay's email system. These options are designed to expedite resolution of any potential issue quickly, easily and amicably, in lieu of eBay / PayPal on-line dispute resolution process which is lengthy, laborious, and allows decisions to be made by a 3rd party instead of the principals; i.e., the buyer & seller. Due to a myriad of International and U.S. Federal, State, Territory, County, City or Local law(s), ordinance(s), restrictions(s) or regulation(s), some articles shipped via U.S.P.S. may have restrictions and / or regulations that may apply to your article(s) shipped to a U.S. address. Buyers are responsible for knowing if any International, Federal, State, Territory, County, City or Local law(s), ordinance(s), restrictions(s) or regulation(s) may apply to your article(s) shipped to your ship to your address; and buyers are responsible for any loss if any prohibited or restricted item(s) shipped to your ship to address is confiscated for any reason. Any item returned must be pre-approved by the seller and received by seller within 7 days from receipt. If a buyer claims the item is damaged in shipping, it must send photographic proof on eBays email system, gain agreement with the seller, and item must be returned before buyer enters a feedback comment and before any exchange, credit or refund is issued. Buyer must use appropriate shipping, delivery confirmation and / or signature confirmation (items 0 ) and/or insurance at the buyers expense. Restocking fee, partial refunds and refunds are negotiable when buyers are dealing in good faith.
