Correction: Nine of the cartridges are not New Haven.

RARE BOX OF NEW HAVEN ARMS CO. 44 HENRY RIMFIRE CARTRIDGES. Full box of 50 early 44 Rimfire Henry ammunition with green & black top label on a Kraft colored 2 pc box. Ammunition is standard flat nose lead bullets with copper cases that have recessed, raised “H” head stamps. Label is imprinted “50 CARTRIDGES / FOR / HENRY’S REPEATING RIFLE, / MANUFACTURED BY THE / NEW HAVEN ARMS CO., / NEW HAVEN, CONN. / No. 44-100.”. These early boxes of Henry ammunition are rarely encountered today especially full, with intact label. CONDITION: Good to very good. Label is intact with a couple of very minor chips in the edge and light wear, not affecting the printing or border. There is a small blue ballpoint ink line on the bottom front edge of the label. Box has several open corners & edges but is complete and easily repairable which would be unnoticeable from the outside. Ammunition has lightly oxidized bullets with a dark copper patina on the cases. Altogether a rare box. 4-40745 JR310 (4,000-7,000)
