Gentleman's Silver Plated Hip Flask By James Dixon.
A silver-plated spirit hip flask made by James Dixon & Sons, Sheffield. The pocket hip flask has the upper portion of the glass flask ornamented in leather (simulated crocodile skin) with level viewing windows cut into both sides. This exceptional hip flask with plain domed hinged lid with screw bayonet fitting and retains the original push fit drinking cup (height 5 cm / 2 inches), all marked James Dixon & Sons. On one side of the bottleneck can be found JD & S, whilst on the other side is a trumpet. The JD & S is the mark of James Dixon & Sons and the "Trumpet and Banner" mark identifies without doubt it is a Dixon's product. The use of the trumpet is to prevent mistakes with the marks "JD & S" used by another Sheffield manufacturer, James Deakin & Sons.
Dimensions:
1900-1949
Circa 1930's
Leather, glass, plate
