This well-preserved, Civil War Federal accoutrement is an original pair of cartridge box tins used in the various models of leather cartridge boxes to hold the paper cartridges for the Union infantryman. The two metal tins retain their original bright tin finish. Each tin has one lower division open to the front and able to contain one bundle of ten .58 caliber paper cartridges and two upper divisions, one that holds six cartridges and the other four cartridges. Edges of each tin are turned over and soldered down to prevent accidental tearing open of the paper cartridges. A fine specimen.
