This carbine cartridge box is an original example of the classic leather accoutrement carried by Federal mounted forces during the Civil War.

This specimen is constructed of strong, black bridle leather. When closed, the large leather outer flap and smaller inner flap protect the ammunition in the carbine box. Inner flap is clearly stamped “DINGEE & LORIGAN / MAKERS / NEW YORK”. The drilled wood cartridge block is present with 20 holes. The strong outer flap has a mild scalloped front edge. Leather is good with only light crazing and wear to edges. Stitched and riveted to the outer flap is a closure tab that remains unbroken.

Inner flap retains both “ears”. Inner flap closes over a small implement pouch sewn to the front of the box. Bottom of box has a brass finial and two black japanned roller buckles. On the box’s back side there are two of the vertical, leather belt loops with a single horizontal leather strap. The stitching is strong and tight.

A fine example of a Civil War Federal carbine cartridge box.   [jet] [ph:L]
