- Lot Description
Two very rare Goodyear Patent Gutta Percha powder flasks, both marked GOODYEAR'S PATENT MAY 5, 1851 upside down, just below their mouths. The larger flask is additionally marked BEACON DAM Co. Beacon Dam Co purchased the right to Goodyear's vulcanite (hard rubber) patent in 1856 and produced a wide variety of small household items from this material, as well as powder flasks. The larger, rifle-sized flask is approximately 6"x3.5" with four small brass suspension rings and 1.25" adjustable charging spout. The smaller, pistol-sized flask is approximately 3.5"x2" with a .625" fixed spout. These flasks are very scarce today as their fragile construction means they were easily damaged.
Both flasks very good with weak, but readable markings. Showing scuffs and minor marks but no breaks, chips or cracks. Both spouts work correctly. Smaller flask with stiff, lightly rusted spring and missing one screw from the mouth.Condition
