Front top face of the box exhibits the printed label in black ink that reads “10 / Poultney’s Metallic / CARTRIDGES, / Patented December 15^th 1863 / 12 CAPS, / For / GALLAGER’S BREECH LOADING CARBINE / 50/100 CALIBRE. Box wears surface grime and the top flap upper seam is cut along three sides. A seldom seen artifact box with a great Gallager metallic cartridge.
