“CS” EMBOSSED CONFEDERATE CAP BOX.

“CS” EMBOSSED CONFEDERATE CAP BOX. Among the rarest and most desirable of Confederate cap boxes are the boxes embossed “CS”. Box is the classic Confederate cap box, with single belt loop, lead finial, and “CS” embossed in a 1-1/4″ x 1″ cartouche on face of box. These embossed boxes are quite rare and rarely offered. The “CS” embossing on this box is very clear and untouched. Box retains inner flap and lamb’s wool. Mr. Michel’s Notes State: “While unquestionably all Confederate leather goods are rare, most rare of these are the ones marked either with a maker’s name or, in this case, with the classic “CS” in an oval. Typical Confederate construction with a small rear loop for placement on the soldier’s belt and the classic lead finial, this cap box is also clearly embossed on the front flap with the letters “CS” in an oval.” PROVENANCE: Ben Michel collection. CONDITION: Box is sound and solid; however, front flap shows edge deterioration, missing a portion of front flap, as can be seen in photos. Tab is fragile and has an old, sewn repair. Belt loop is fragile with several large cracks and tears but is mostly complete. 4-31424 JS47 (5,000-8,000)
