A tall copper and brass canister of very heavy gauge and beautifully constructed with a chunky brass screw top stopper with original seal. It has a brass base and copper body. Most probably intended to store some sort of liquid, this copper container has a lovely patina and colour. Almost certainly a military item, this would make an interesting decorative statement piece, or could be turned into a lamp. Would also be of interest to collectors of militaria. Circa early 20th century / WW1

Diameter of base: 8.9 cm (3 1/2 in)
