Scarce Civil War U.S. Naval Cartridge Box From the New York Navy Yard
Item #: CS475
Here is a piece that you seldom see offered for sale. It is an original Civil War pistol size cartridge box for the U.S. Navy. On the outer flap it has the embossed " USN" still clearly visible on the leather. When you raise the outer flap you are greeted by the original inner flap that has the maker stamp from Navy Yard Philadelphia with a 1863 production date. If you notice it has had the original implement compartment removed. Almost all of these boxes were altered after the Civil War for other uses. On the innermost compartment it has its original cartridge tin. On the bottom of the box it has the original closure finial which is made of brass as well as the original closure tab which only is partially there. On the reverse of the box it has the original belt loop still intact. This is a tough to find original Civil War pistol cartridge box from the U.S. Navy that has a lot of character.
