This leather box is for carrying an infantryman’s supply of .58 caliber rifle musket cartridges.

The large outer flap remains flexible enough to open with finish exhibiting fine crazing overall. There is an oval “US” plate attached by two pieces of leather. The face of the plate is clean with a good “US” stamping. The latch tab that is attached by a single row of stitching is present and unbroken. Inner flap is marked “H.A. DINGEE / N-YORK”. One of the side “ears” remains and one is missing.  The tins are present inside the box. Implement pocket is complete and also in fine condition. Bottom of the box has both roller buckles and a round brass finial. Reverse has both the sling and belt loops with the belt loops being riveted and sewn.

The shoulder sling remains flexible and is in overall fine condition. The round Eagle breast plate has a tone matching the box plate. This plate is “in place” with loops through the strap but has either lost its leather thong or has been added.

This is a very fine and complete example of a Civil War infantry cartridge box.  [jet][ph:L]
