WONDERFUL LATE 1880’S EARLY 1890’S UNION METALLIC CARTRIDGE COMPANY CARTRIDGE BOARD IN ORIGINAL FRAME. Fantastic orig board 54-1/2″ long x 42-1/4″ high, outside dimensions in its orig frame with gesso overlays that read “TRADE MARK” with “U.M.C.” in the center with decorative ends.

The bottom center of the board is mounted with a 9″ x 3-3/4″ wood frame box which displays the UMC produced percussion caps, primers & shot shell fiber wads (It is extremely rare to observe this box complete and intact). The cartridges are all mounted around a diamond shaped center vignette which pictures three bull elk in a mountain scene with two deer in right foreground and a roebuck and doe in the center foreground. Each cartridge is wire mounted to the board with a nomenclature description printed below. The back of the board is covered with its orig paper and two labels, one requesting that the recipient display the board in their store and the other giving directions to replace the glass. This is an extraordinary find in complete orig condition. CONDITION: About fine. Frame & the internal gold painted gesso frame are orig and complete with the outer frame showing a few nicks & scratches and a wonderful aged patina. Gold paint on the internal gesso frame has darkened to a silvery gold patina. Orig hand polished glass is intact. Cartridges are all bright & clean with the paper patch bullets still mostly white, some turned slightly yellow. The center vignette is moderately faded and there are some minor water stains around top edges of the board that extend down into the board. Rear paper covering is water stained with some light losses but generally intact and complete. 4-47067 JR359 (15,000-25,000)
