Information

We love Engish antique leather blackjacks and always buy period ones when they come up for sale.  Yes, they are always expensive to buy but worth every penny in our opinion and they are always on our "must have" list when they appear!

This fine jack is later 19th Century, circa 1860-1880.

Blackjacks are a very English tradition and were used as tankards.  Larger vessels/jugs also exist and are known as "bombards".

Formed on a mould from wet leather, earlier examples were then hand stitched together.  This example shows mechanised stitching indicating a later 19thC date.

These vessels were lined with bitumen (as in this example) or had tin liners.

This jack has lovely wear and patination to the outer surface and displays very well.

Condition - as per images.
