A superb 20th century silver plated book shaped hip flask, with a consealed twist lid. Ingeniously designed, this object served a dual purpose, not only did it reflect the innovative spirit of its time, but it also catered to the desires of a traveler who wished to indulge in his preferred libation discreetly. Its significance lies in its ability to conceal the favorite tipple. Marked on the spine of the book "a pleasant surprise, james dixon", upon taking the lid off, underneath is marked "j dixon & sons, sheffield, l91/8oz, made in england".
