Antique George vi Sterling Silver and Crocodile Skin Hip Flask

About the Item

An exceptional, fine and impressive antique George VI glass, English sterling silver and crocodile skin mounted hip flask; an addition to our silver mounted glass collection. This exceptional antique George VI sterling silver hip flask has a rectangular form with rounded corners. The upper portion of the glass body is ornamented with an impressive crocodile skin covering. This impressive antique hip flask is fitted with a plain domed fully hallmarked hinged cover, securing with a bayonet fitting. This crocodile skin hip flask retains the original hallmarked push fit drinking cup. The drinking cup retains the original gilding. This antique hip flask has been tested for water tightness and is ready for use. To ensure the flask remains water tight, the cork should be moist and therefore fully expanded to provide an effective seal. There are two recommended methods to ensure that the cork does not dry out and shrink: Method One: Keep fluid in the flask at all times, and keep the flask on its side to ensure the cork remains wet. Method Two: Fill the flask to the brim with fluid and close. Leave it like this overnight, or for 24 hours if possible, before use. Condition This crocodile skin hip flask is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition. The flask has been professionally polished and is in presentation condition. The glass is in perfect condition and the crocodile skin covering is in the excellent condition. Full hallmarks struck to the surface of the drinking cup and the cover are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the exceptional gauge of silver. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this luxury hip flask in silver and crocodile skin.
