Pattern 1861 US cartridge box in fair condition. The outer flap was cut for a “US” box plate to be mounted in the center; there is no plate included. The latch-tab is stitched to the flap and remains worn, but whole and unbroken. Leather shows crazing, scuffs, and wear.

The inner flap is maker-marked (Longley & Co. Lewiston, ME. 1862) and retains the two side “ears” and they remain firmly stitched in place. The implement pouch is complete and very good.

There are two cartridge tins with this box. The bottom of the box features the typical brass finial and both of the roller buckles. All stitching remains strong.  Belt loops attached to the back; sewn and riveted.

An early Civil War infantry cartridge box, likely unissued.  [jet][ph:L]
