An 18th century Scottish silver spirit flask,

An 18th century Scottish silver spirit flask,
unmarked,
tapering oval form, pull-off drinking cup, screw-off cover, engraved borders, one side engraved with the arms of Oughton above the Oughton crest and motto, and inscribed 'Ex praeda praedatoris Glengary [sic] 1746', height 15.5cm, approx. weight 9oz.

This lot is also sold with a printed research document. The inscription means "from the treachery of the traitor Glengary 1746". The MacDonnells of Glengarry were Jacobites and engaged in the '45 Rebellion and it would appear to be a reference to that.
