MarkingsStamped mark of "DIXON" on both side of the flask. NotesMaker Note: The flask is marked "DIXON", and research indicates that James Dixon and Sons of Sheffield, England manufactured powder flasks along with silver and other items. So far no other flasks with the same mark have been found, so the maker is an attribution. Further research is needed. (Lee 2/26/2014)
