Comments: This cartridge box tin was acquired directly from the digger's family. The digger hunted Civil War trails, campsites, and battle sites throughout central Virginia and adjacent states for several decades. If you appreciate that excavated war torn appearance, then this relic is for you. It will be an excellent addition to any excavated Civil War accoutrement, battlefield, or general relic collection.
