Original U.S. Civil War M1855/61 .58 Caliber Cartridge Box with Original Tins & US Box Plate
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is an interesting Federal Issue Cartridge Box which has certainly seen some service during the American Civil War! This is a genuine Federal Issue leather Pattern 1855 .58 Caliber Cartridge Box with box plate.
Both original matching cartridge tins are present. The securing strap for the brass finial is intact, very rare to see.
The Outer flap has light surface wear with a latch tab that is attached by a row of stitching. The original closure tab is intact, which we rarely see. The bottom of the box has one of the two roller buckles and the brass final intact. Interior flap is intact with side ears of the flap both intact. The tool pouch is intact with a flap and closure tab.
The leather shows signs of obvious age, flaking, and so on. The reverse of the box has both belt loops and verdigris across the brass fittings. The box plate is attached by a very old wire, not the original leather thong.
This is an excellent example of a classic piece of Civil War field equipment. Perfect for a collector looking to simply have a representative example, or an advanced collector!
