These "pressed powder" cartridges were made by the Hazard Powder Company under Doremus & Budd's patents (#34,725 & #34,744 dated March 18 & 25, 1862). The powder charge was molded by pressure into a cake which was glued to the bullet and then waterproofed with a coating of collodion or shellac.

The bullet is the short “new model” Colt bullet with solid base, one groove, and a rebated base. This specimen is in excellent condition with only one small crack in collodion at the joint between bullet and powder.

OAL: 1.25".  Reference: RB3 #832, TT #33A.   [jet] [ph:L]
