Aidan Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Greeting, I realize that there are a number of active threads regarding James Dixon & Sons, but I'm looking for someone with specific knowledge about a VERY LARGE sheffield flask that I own. The flask stands about 12 inches tall, is 8 inches wide, and 2 1/2 inches deep - marked: James Dixon & Sons - Sheffield - Made in England - 334 - 128 OZS. - and carries another mark of a cross in an oval shield. There is also a large 10K gold monogram applied to the front GME...the M is largest - so perhaps G. E. M. is the actual monogram. I understand that it may be a beer "growler" - with the growler referring to the size of the container (approximately 1 gallon). What I don't know is, "What the heck is this thing?" There is a very eloborate baffle (not sure if to reinforce the piece, or to stir the contents. Any input would be appreciated - I'd love to be able to properly identify this unusual piece. Thanks, Aidan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dclark Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Greetings Aidan, I have a similar ( what I think is Pewter ) flask the same size as yours and stamped " James Dixon & Sons Sheffield - Made in England - 334 -128 ozs. and below that in a different font and different stamp " Abercrombie & Fitch Co. New York ". Mine has a threaded cap but is missing the cap. I wonder if you have found out anything about yours from anyone on this forum ? ( I just found it and registerd today.

dclark Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Makes more sense than a flask- much too large for that. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
