    Description

    This is a reproduction of the Union Metallic Cartridge Company's .45 Colt box which dates to the mid to late 1880's. The side wrappers seem to vary in color between orange and red.  This trend shows up in other UMC boxes/calibers of the era.  I will do my best to keep both colors available, but if you want a specific color (orange or red) let me know.   The box is, of course empty, with the side wrappers sealed. However, you can cut the wrappers and open it for display if you'd prefer.
    All of the boxes I've recreated date to the 1860's, 70's & 80's, and are what collectors now, for obvious reasons, refer to as "picture boxes." These are not photocopies or printed from pictures I've Googled. These are high resolution, digital recreations. I have included a picture of an original box for comparison.
    Buyer pays fixed shipping.
    Let me know if you have questions or need further pictures. Auction is for one box.
    ****UPDATE****  Due to the fluctuation in chipboard availability I'm being forced to limit my stock and make most cartridges boxes to order.   Because of this, I'm having to extend my handling time to 5 days instead of 3.   HOWEVER, most orders will continue to ship with in 1-3 days.  But larger orders with multiple boxes may take 4-5 days.  I will try to keep some of the better sellers on hand, but the availability of materials will ultimately determine what can be stocked.  Thank you for your patience and don't hesitate to contact me if you need something quickly.
