I need help with this one

[3rd North Carolina]

I just need a little help to know what i really have w/ gun powder flask. I know the pouch is made w/ leather w/ what i could see a rabbit on it. Also, at the base of the neck (on the leather) looks like 3lbs. Any info it would be very helpful. Thanks

What you actually have is a "Shot Flask" for holding bird shot for small game hunting. The "3 Lbs" marking indicates that it will hold 3 pounds of shot.

The example you have is really in quite good condition for a leather body flask!

It's a nice flask and will be a nice addition to your collection, regardless of its specific era. Looks like it's in great condition.
