Powder Flask, from Jim Baker

Description

Tin powder flask in a buckskin cover with a brass bullet casing used to cover the spout. Long carrying strap. Attached to the strap with a piece of leather is a stack of nickle sized circles of cloth. The leather string runs through the center of the pieces of cloth, creating a ball about the size of a walnut. This is potentially a stack of extra wadding circles for loading a firearm.
