CIVIL WAR CARTRIDGE POUCH. Made in Lewiston, Maine in 1863 according to a partially readable maker’s stamp on the inner flap. The tin liners are missing. A tag claims this is a knapsack carried by Steven Green during the Civil War. It contains a cap tin, two paper cartridges of different sizes, the end of a shotgun cleaning rod, a bone-handled toothbrush marked “J. GOODALL / LONDON” and a rock. CONDITION: The case and carrying strap are badly flaked and very brittle. The cleaning rod is corroded. The toothbrush is very worn. The cap tin, which contains a gray powder, has minor rust stains on the label but is otherwise fine. The cartridges are good but both have extra ties at weak spots. Greene Collection 4-53545 FS439 (400-600)
