A large, Edwardian, superior solid silver Hip Flask in lovely plain polished silver form, the only engraving being a monogram on the front (see images) and hallmarks. The shape is a slightly concave shape (designed this way for ease of holding in the hand). The lid is hinged and twists to open, remaining attached by a hinge. It opens and closes perfectly. The base of the flask pulls off and acts as a cover (see images). On the front of the flask are the full clear hallmarks for the Chester Assay office with a date mark for 1903 and Lion Passant indicating the finest sterling silver. The silver maker's mark is also visible for the renowned silver maker: William Neale. Partial marks are also visible on the lower half of the flask.
A superb item, fabulous as a gift for any occasion!
