Good conditioned box made by Nece. Leather feels a bit dry. Outer flap is good with light scuffing. Latch tab is integral part of the flap and is solid. Interior flap is also in good condition with both ears. The face of the inner flap has a Sub-Inspector’s stamp and just below that in one line is “R. NECE.” The body of the box matches the two flaps in condition but the interior has no fleece or pick. Brass finial is present at bottom. Reverse has two belt loops both of which show light wear with some light surface finish loss to one.

Reuben Nece & Co. of Philadelphia had numerous Army contracts for accouterments throughout the Civil War.
