Pattern 1864 US cartridge box in good condition. The outer flap is lightly embossed “US” in the center and has an even lighter sub-inspector’s oval stamp on the lower, left corner. A maker’s stamp is also there but mostly unreadable other than “PHILA”. The surface of the flap appears to have been well rubbed down or over polished. The latch-tab is stitched and riveted and remains whole and unbroken. The inner flap retains the two side “ears” which remain firmly attached.

The implement pouch is complete and good in every way. It is unmarked. Both cartridge tins remain complete and in place. The bottom of the box features the typical brass finial and both roller buckles. All stitching remains strong.  Belt loops well attached to the back. Again, there are only small remnants of a maker’s stamp between the belt loops.

A solid example of a Civil War cartridge box.  [jet][ph:L]
