Rare Union Metallic Cartridge Company Colt Single Action Army Cartridge Picture Box

The upper label has a likeness of a Colt Single Action Army and notes that the cartridges are for "COLT'S NEW BREECH LOADING/ARMY REVOLVER/ADOPTED by the UNITED STATES ARMY for the CAVALRY SERVICE" as well as noting they were manufactured by the Union Metallic Cartridge Company "Under Hobb's Patents, Sept. 14, 1869, and April, 1884." The box itself is a blue and purple tartan style pattern. The side labels are red-orange, and the rear label notes that the cartridges are "expressly adapted to the .45 calibre/Colt's New Breech-Loading Army Revolver." The box has a piece of old newspaper within and no cartridges.

Rating definitionFine as unsealed, empty with moderate age and storage related wear including some splitting at the corners, torn side labels, and edge wear. This would be the best cartridge box for displaying along side an extraordinary Blackpowder Colt Single Action Army. The ultimate accessory item!
