Displayed in a case with cut mat and labeled, are nine different copper-cased rimfire Spencer cartridges with the one Civil War-era Spencer bullet.

Included is the one .56-56 cartridge which is actually .52 caliber that was used during the Civil War. There are several maker-marked Model 1865 .56-50 cartridges (.50 caliber) with headstamps that were manufactured under military contracts in 1866. Additional examples in .50 caliber and a .52 caliber “necked” cartridge that were made for the civilian market in the post-Civil War years, some with headstamps from various well-known cartridge companies. Finally, there is a .56-46 from UMC for sporting rifles and a Spencer blank that was made for the military at the Frankford Arsenal in 1870.

Specimens are from Union Metallic Cartridge Company, Dominion Cartridge Company, Winchester Repeating Arms Company, Jacob Goldmark, Sage Ammunition Works, Crittenden & Tibbals, and the Frankford Arsenal.

A fine display of Spencer cartridges “through the ages.”   [jet][ph:jet]
