US Cartridge Box Plate - Solder Backing
This is the solder backing from a US cartridge box plate. Both brass front and iron attachment loops are missing. It measures approximately 48 x 80 mm and was recovered from the Quantico, VA area. The plate was acquired directly from the Virginia digger. Included in the additional images is an image of the digger (on left), with his hunting buddies and their detectors dating to the 1970-80s. Also included is an image showing its use.
Reference: An image of a similar, but not exact cartridge box plate is found in the following Civil War relic reference book:
- "Excavated Artifacts from Battlefields and Campsites of The Civil War" by Stanley S. Phillips on page 6, figure 1.
See above page in additional images.
The plate will be an excellent addition to any excavated Civil War plate or general relic collection.
