Percussion Cap Tin with Partial Paper Label and Contents

Description

Percussion Cap Tin with Partial Paper Label and Contents

Round percussion cap tin retaining a fragment of its green paper label on the lid, with portions of the printed lettering still visible. The metal surfaces exhibit a dark gray-brown patina with scattered oxidation, scratches, and handling wear.

Caps remain inside; however, the lid is firmly seated and could not be removed for inspection. The quantity and condition of the contents are therefore undetermined. The surviving label adds character to this small arms accessory, well suited for display alongside a percussion firearm or accoutrement grouping.
