RARE WINCHESTER 1879 CARTRIDGE BOARD.

RARE WINCHESTER 1879 CARTRIDGE BOARD. The second cartridge board produced by Winchester in 1879 and is referred to as the “double oval”. The depiction of cartridges includes a great number of early rim fire cartridges, Berdan primers, Remington, Sharps and Martini calibers were reflected in this period and a host of other early style Winchester cartridges. The center of the panel with a vignette of the Winchester factory printed around it, “WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS COMPANY, NEW HAVEN, CT.” At the top, “GOVERNMENT CONTRACTORS”, below, “CAPACITY OF WORKS, 2 MILLION CARTRIDGES DAILY”. Framed in a narrow replacement wood frame, similar to the original frame that would have been on the early cartridge board. SIZE: (incl. frame) 28-3/4”w x 23-3/4”h. CONDITION: The lithograph shows much distress from age, staining, etc., and has been restored. The upper left corner portion of the lithography has been reconstructed and replaced, there is overall staining, some old breaks in the paper, many or most of the cartridges appear to be replacements which are appropriate cartridges, but not the original ones. The lower left hand corner of the panel is missing a horizontal cartridge but has an added cartridge above the diamond. Despite all of this, this is a very rare cartridge board, seldom seen and when found, almost never all original. 4-37405 JJ (9,000-12,000)
