TWICE LOVED ANTIQUES & COLLECTIBLES. Antique 20th Century Book Hip Flask James Dixon "A Pleasant Surprise". Description: For sale is a rare 20th century silver plated, hip flask disguised as a book!

1910 this book hip flask was made by James Dixon and Sons Ltd. The books title is "A Pleasant Surprise" and the flask holds 8 ounces of whatever liquid you choose.

The corner of the book twists off to reveal the secret flask. The book is covered in leather like a real book and even has marbled pages!

Inside the flask is marked J. 78 Sheffield Made in England 90 8 ozs" and on the cap is stamped "78. The overall condition of the book flask is in very good condition but there are a few flaws that I have found. The top paper of the "marbled paper", is very delicate and slightly loose and chipping / missing some pieces of the paper Please see photo's! The top corner is missing two pieces of leather due to wear of use, and the one corner is slightly bent.

The binding of the flask is in very good condition and the leather overall is very good, but slightly loose on one side due to it drying. This book flask has so much character and who knows what stories it could tell if it could! This would be the perfect piece on a desk, mantle, or on the book case as a hidden "pleasant surprise". 14 cm x 10.7 cm x 2.2 cm. 5 1/2 in x 4 1/4 in x 1 in.
