CONFEDERATE CAP BOX.

CONFEDERATE CAP BOX. This is quite the unusual Confederate cap box. It is very simply made with the front flap acting as a tab over a lead finial placed on the front bottom of this box. Box has no inner flap and is made of very thin leather. Due to the fact that there is no inner flap and more stress at the back fold, the stitching is reinforced with two brass pins. Box overall is in fine condition for a piece of Confederate leather, being complete and sound with good surfaces throughout. Mr. Michel, in his notes, states, “This box follows the pattern of pre-War cap boxes which had the finial placed on the front of the interior pouch as opposed to the more usual bottom placement. The finial here is lead. The leather is a russet brown color, and the small belt loop is stitched integral with the edge stitching of the box—all features common to confederate manufactured cap box”. CONDITION: Leather is complete, sound, and supple. Orig surfaces have scattered bends, folds, and mottling. 4-31423 JS46 (1,200-1,800)
