Title The Powder Flask Book by Ray Riling
Nationality American
Period 1992
Sold

Published by R&R Books, Livonia, NY, USA, 1993 (originally published 1953), hardback, 495 pages (29 x 23 cm). This is the powder flask 'bible' - you cannot collect powder flasks without a copy in your library. As far as I know, it is the only serious book that has ever encompassed the whole of this vast subject and it is copiously illustrated.

Condition: the previous owner's inscription is written in black biro on the fly leaf, together with place of purchase and date (Arms Fair, 1998); two small tears to dust wrapper; otherwise a good, clean copy.

Yes, arrived safe and sound, very nice, and very interesting. Have a couple of friends in the States slavering over the pictures, one of them loves searching old lists, etc. If I can tie it down more definitely will let you know.
