Description

#002 Antique Make Do Treen or Treenware:

On front: "T. King, 1873" is hand etched into wood.

This is a beautiful old handmade antique primitive English treen hunting gunpowder container or hunting, hunter's flask, found in the Ashburton, Devon area. It features an applied cow horn tip on a cylindrical wooden flask shaped body, hand carved with the proud owner / maker's name of T. King. It does not open in any way or screw apart, is stationary.

The King family can easily be found in Devon genealogy records. We're betting his name was Thomas King. A one-of-a-kind Victorian fox hunting era item, when sold we will never see again, a naive and primitive piece of handmade British folk art that came out of a Newton Abbot area house. Condition: Clean, with historical age wear and cracking consistent with actual use by Mr. King. Just a rare and wonderful old hunting and shooting sports, sporting Devon piece, when gone, we'll never see again.

Size: 7 x 2 x 3 inches wide at base
