PRIMER FLASK for COMMENT

Hi Stu.

WOW!! That is a tiny flask. Only about 2 1/2" in diameter. Obviously for priming. The round body and spring/lever style of spout are similar to European flasks from the 16th/17th Century. My guess is also Moroccan or Algerian. But yes, pretty sure North African - somewhere. LOL
I really like the decoration. Very cool little priming flask. QUESTION: What is that plug or ? next to the spout ??
