This listing is for a nice early 20th Century English E.P.N.S. pocket flask with hinged top. The flask has a crescent moon shape with the only decoration being an engraved 3-letter Art Deco style monogram "L A C" on center front. The hinge is tight and the top opens and closes securely. Marked "Yates, E.P.N.S." John Yates & Sons was founded in Birmingham in 1879. The stamp E.P.N.S. stands for electro-plated nickel silver. Since nickel silver has no actual silver content, it does not have value like solid silver thus this pocket flask is being sold as a functional flask and not for investment purposes.
Measures 5" long (including cap), 4 1/8" long (flask only), 4 1/2" wide and 1" deep (at center front). Weighs 9.7 ounces.
The flask is in excellent Estate condition with no noted flaws and reflecting only minimal signs of actual wear.
