FINE CONFEDERATE CAVALRY CARTRIDGE BOX. This is a most unusual Confederate cartridge box which only measures 7″ across by 2″ deep and 3″ tall. Box closes with a lead finial and inside box the tin has 16 distinct tubes which measure about 5/8″ in diameter and about 1-3/4″ long which is about the right size for carbine ammunition. This is a most interesting box that we have not encountered before. It is very well made from reclaimed leather as can be seen in an earlier stitch design on cover. This box was most likely made for a specialty carbine that we are not aware of. This box would make a great addition to any Confederate Cavalry display. CONDITION: Box overall is sound and in very good condition. There is crazing to surfaces especially where folded. Belt loops and tab are sound & intact. 4-45076 JS19 (1,000-1,500)
