Tin/document Letter Tube with Cap

 

This antique tin letter tube was once used to safely transport important papers or correspondence. Cylindrical in shape with a fitted brass cap, it offered a durable, water-resistant solution for carrying letters in the 19th century—particularly in military, postal, or legal settings. The cap still fits securely, and the body retains its original dark japaned finish with light wear from age and use. A great piece for collectors of Civil War-era gear, antique writing accessories, or early postal history.
