US Cartridge Box Plate - Petersburg, VA Campaign

SOLD

This excavated US cartridge box plate was recovered from the Petersburg, VA area and acquired directly from the relic hunter who kept detailed records of his finds. Cartridge box plates, with the raised stamped letters "US", were constructed of thin sheet brass with a heavy solder backing, and two iron attachment loops. They were proudly displayed on the outer flaps of the soldier's cartridge box and its weight aided in keeping the flap closed so as to prevent the loss of cartridges. On the rear of the display is a label indicating the date and location of its recovery. A close up image of the label is included in the additional images to the left of this description. The plate is displayed and labeled in a 5-1/4 x 6-1/4 x 1-3/8 inch glass top display case which will be included. It is held in place by the pressure of the glass top resting upon the items and the rear felt covered batting material. The case and its glass top are secured by straight pins on either side of the box. This US cartridge box plate is in fair condition will be an excellent display for any office, den, or family room, and will also be a great gift for the American history buff.
