[How old is it?] - IMO, About 150 years old

[What time period was this most likely used in? - 1800-1875

[Is this a common item found today?] - No

[What might it be worth?] - Could be quite a bit - google "Dixon Powder Flasks", and try to find a like one, & how much it sold for, recently

Most are bag-shaped, not like yours.
