Scarce Kittredge & Co. Marked Brass Belt Cartridge Box for .44 RF Rifle Cartridges

This design was patented by Augustus Bennett on January 27, 1863 (reissue April 14) and produced by B. Kittredge & Co; originally as an accessory for the Frank Wesson rifles the firm was selling. The box was readily adaptable for use with the .44 RF cartridge such as the one used in the Henry rifle, of which these have also been attributed as an accessory for a Henry rifle. Construction is solid brass with "B.KITTREDGE & Co CIN. O./PATENTED. JAN.27.1863/REISSUED APL.14.63" stamped on the spring loaded lid, brass belt loops and niter blued spring (turned to a brown with some light pitting), and a round body. Very good condition with an attractive golden aged patina.
