THREE 19TH CENTURY MILITARY CARTRIDGE BOXES INCLUDING TWO CIVIL WAR INFANTRY CARTRIDGE BOXES.

THREE 19TH CENTURY MILITARY CARTRIDGE BOXES INCLUDING TWO CIVIL WAR INFANTRY CARTRIDGE BOXES. This lot consists of 2 Civil War .58cal cartridge boxes in very fine condition both with over-the-shoulder straps complete with eagle breastplates. One box has embossed “US” with an “R. WHITE” inspector mark also embossed on front. Second box is an earlier war model with attached “US” lead-filled box plate, maker marked “JB THAXTER, PORTLAND, ME”. The buff leather strap on this cartridge box was made from a converted NCO belt. It is cut and sewn and the original 3-hook eagle plate now serves as a breastplate. Also accompanying this lot is an Indian War period folding cartridge box containing 20 45-70 cartridges. CONDITION: All three boxes are quite sound and in very good condition overall with just scattered cracking and crazing. Markings described are in very good condition. The over-the-shoulder strap on the embossed box is probably modern though plate and box are original. 4-38712 JS33 (800-1,200)

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
