Leather US cap box with a very old typed paper label affixed to the center of the outer flap. Label has faded and darkened with age and dirt but reads “CAP BOX FROM CHANCELLORSVILLE MAY --- 1863.”

The leather on the box is supple but also shows signs of use such as creasing on the tab and wear on the belt loops. Outer flap has a smooth surface and when the box is tilted to catch the light the name “JONES” appears just over the label. There looks to be more lettering but it is under the paper label.

The inner flap has both ears and matches the outer flap in appearance. Interior has lamb’s wool but no pick. The body of the box is good with minor surface wear. Brass finial is present at bottom.

Reverse has two complete belt loops that show light wear and some surface finish loss.

Nice conditioned cap box that saw service.  [ad]
