Pattern 1861 US cartridge box in good, solid condition. The outer flap was cut for a “US” box plate to be mounted in the center; it was removed and there is no plate included. The latch-tab is stitched to the flap and remains whole and unbroken. Leather shows light crazing, mostly over the “hinge” area.

The inner flap is maker-marked “J.E. CONDICT / NEW YORK” within an oval and retains the two side “ears” and they remain firmly stitched in place. The implement pouch is complete and very good.

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

John Eliot Condict was a prominent 19th-century manufacturer based in New York City, primarily known for producing leather military goods and horse equipment. His company, J.E. Condict & Co., held significant U.S. military contracts, especially during the Civil War. He operated with his brother, Silas B. Condict. They were makers of cavalry link straps, cartridge boxes, cap pouches, holsters, and general saddlery.

A nice Civil War infantry cartridge box, likely unissued.  [jet] [ph:L]
