<b>American Revolution</b><hr><b>A Second Revolutionary War Cartridge Box and Belt</b>

<b>c. 1770, American-made Revolutionary Period Cartridge Box and Waistbelt, Very Good.</b>
Wooden, 24 cartridge box wrapped in leather, with a nondescript flap and a cloth waistband. The leather is well worn, with some loss on the bottom and side. Some of the wood has deteriorated and the walls between some of the cartridge holes have disintegrated. The flap is cracked but in good condition. The cloth waistbelt appears to be a later addition and is attached to the back of the box with numerous brass tacks. Still, this is a nice display piece that would fit into any institutional or specialist’s collection.
