- Lot Description
7.125" X 4.250". Embossed CSA at the top of the flask and Tucker & Sherrod Lancaster Texas with the five-point star in the middle. Brass body. This flask is one of only two known. The flask is pictured on the back of Jackson Arms Catalog 15, along with a Tucker & Sherrod Dragoon pistol.
This flask is also pictured on the title page of the book: ARMING THE GLORIOUS CAUSE, WEAPONS OF THE SECOND WAR FOR INDEPENDENCE, A PHOTOGRAPHIC STUDY OF CONFEDERATE WEAPONS by James B. Whisker, Daniel D. Hartzler, and Larry W. Yantz. Privately published, 1998.
The flask was formerly in the following collections: Billingslea, Wise Collection, the Jud Briefer Confederate Collection, and the Donald Bryan collection.
The Billingslea collection was started somewhere around 1900. The collection was sold by F. Theodore Dexter in a catalog sale in 1942. This was one of the largest Confederate gun collections to be sold in the 20th century. Mr. Wise purchased the revolver and flask from Dexter's catalog October of 1943. Mr. Wise's collection of firearms was sold by Jackson Arms company of Dallas Texas, and the Tucker Sherrod revolver and flask appeared on the back cover of the Jackson Arms Catalog 15 and are well described on the inside front cover. Both pieces were then purchased by Justin "Judd" Briefer. Later Donald Bryan purchased the flask and subsequently sold it to the consignor in 1998.
Provenance: Billingsley Collection, Wise Collection, Jud Briefer Confederate Collection and Donald Bryan Collection
The body has some dents. The flask has nice dark untouched patina. Solid and missing the charger.Condition
