Original Item: Only One Available. This is the standard design for an early American made Militia leather cartridge box. These types were seen in the late Revolutionary War and were used up until the War of 1812 and later.

This gorgeous example has extremely pliable leather for its age, and has aged very well. The stitching of the leather is phenomenal and both belt loops are intact, something we don’t often see. The front of the flap had a lovely decorative brass rosette attached, which is still included, but has since come off of its weakened stitching, with heavy verdigris present around the stitching and on the rosette.

The interior wood is still in good shape with 24 slots for chargers, but there is some material loss in the bottom right corner. The stitching is still tight where it is complete on the leather, and the original securing strap is still intact, albeit very worn. The securing knob is absent, which is very commonly seen.

Overall this is still a very nice historical piece of equipment from the infancy years of the United States and it will display very nicely in your early Militia collections!
