Small leather box to hold friction primers and worn on the belt.  The box is relatively square in shape to accommodate the friction primer packs.  This box was manufactured in 1864. It has a single wide belt loop, a latch tab sewn to the outer flap, brass finial, and outer flap to cover the contents.   Manufacturer mark on the outer flap: "NAVY YARD / NY / 1864" and two anchors on each side of the date. This Navy fuse box is in fair condition. The outer flap shows moderate crazing with clear stamping. The latch tab is unbroken. All of the leather is soft and pliable and stitching is still tight.  [jet]
