VERY RARE WINCHESTER 1884 CARTRIDGE BOARD. Only a few of these are known to exist. This one appears to be generally all original. The cartridges appear to be all the original cartridges and the back retains the original paper cover with Winchester printed advertising on it. The frontice of dark stained green with brownish lettering, “WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS COMPANY, NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT, U.S.A. ETC.” all of the original cartridges and primers appear to be in place. Some of the cartridges missing a portion of their paper wraps. And the entire panel framed in an original, period 1880’s walnut molded frame. This is the third cartridge board that Winchester produced and came out in 1884. SIZE: (incl. frame) 38”w x 28”h. CONDITION: A couple of the cartridges loose, but still attached, particularly the large bore shotgun shell. The overall surface dark and discolored (probably from many years of smoke) and a small puncture damage in the upper right hand corner of the border of the panel. In general, very presentable and extremely rare. 4-37406 JJ (17,500-22,500)
