LOT OF TWO VERY RARE TINS OF ELEY BROS. CAPS FOR COLT THUER CARTRIDGES.

LOT OF TWO VERY RARE TINS OF ELEY BROS. CAPS FOR COLT THUER CARTRIDGES. Two 250-rd paper covered, lacquered tins of Eley’s “Waterproof / PERCUSSION CAPS / for / CENTRAL-FIRE / BREECH-LOADING / CASES”. Both tins have orange & black labels with mottled paper wrapping. Colt Thuer conversion revolvers are quite rare and their reloading equipment is even more rare. However, caps for reloading the cartridges are almost unknown, especially in orig sealed tins. These tins would certainly make a fine accessory to complete a cased set. CONDITION: Fine. Labels are intact with a few chips in the edges and light soil on one. Paper wrappings are brittle & fragile with the bottom covering and a few small pieces missing from one tin and a few small chips missing from the other but overall are mostly complete. Tins are plastic wrapped and were not checked for contents. 4-41979 JR248 (750-1,000)
