I'm not an expert, I just worked in a gun shop for twenty plus years.  We didn't stock much BP accessories but we did see many estates get sold off.
I have seen a dozen or so powder flasks like the one on the right, with the eagle on it.  I have never seen one like the one on the left. That's really sharp looking.
I'm not really answering your question but it's a start.

Tops of both look identical to my dad's CVA powder flask but his is just straight brass container. Bottom is a threaded cap on his. The body is marked CVA.

Both were part of a collection of original muskets and accessories.
Like bayonets and other flasks and powder horns .

See eagle one all around . Brass one I can’t place .

The eagle one is styled after a colt pocket model pistol flask. Probably a very small charge weight spout, right? The brass one is beautiful but I can't ID it. It looks similar to some shotgun flasks that I've seen
