Civil War Era Cartridge Box for Seamless Cartridges

Description

Civil War Era Cartridge Box for Seamless Cartridges

Original Civil War era wooden cartridge box retaining its period paper label advertising “Skin Seamless Skin Cartridges with Improved Caps” for “Colt’s Army Pistol .44 Caliber.” The label further notes manufacture by “E. Remington & Sons, Ilion, N.Y.,” one of the most recognized American arms makers of the 19th century.

The box exhibits a rich untouched surface with honest age and handling wear throughout, while the fragile original label remains largely intact and legible. A scarce and highly displayable revolver cartridge box associated with one of the most iconic sidearms of the Civil War period.

An excellent addition to any Civil War ammunition display, Colt revolver collection, or Remington-related grouping.
