PC1132 US Cartridge Box Plate This US cartridge box plate is in excellent condition and was excavated in the Cold Harbor area of Virginia. Its brass face has an even dark patina and is nearly flawless without any cracks or breaks. The rear is just as nice with both attachment hooks still in place and complete. The rear has smooth full lead with very minor chipping at one section of the rim. This plate has no bends and has not been repaired. The condition of this plate tells me that it must have been an early find. It is an absolute beauty and will make a top quality choice for any collection. Approx. 54 x 85 mm. $245.00 Ordering Information or Questions? SALE PENDING |

PC1758 US Cartridge Box Plate This US cartridge box plate is in excellent condition and was excavated in Stafford County which is the county that surrounds a portion of the town of Fredericksburg, VA. The face of the plate has a brown patina, shows period use, and is near perfect. The rear has full lead and both iron attachment loops secure and straight up. The lettering style of this plate indicates that may have been produced by J. I. Pittman. Plates bearing his manufacturer's mark of either "J. I. Pittman" or "Made By J. I. Pittman" are considered moderately rare. This plate, although not marked, is clearly his letter pattern. Pittman also sub-contracted plates to other manufacturers such as H. A. Dingee, Boyd and Son's Boston, Joseph Bell and others. This plate is an excellent example that will make for a nice addition to any collection. Approx. 56 x 88 mm. $225.00 Ordering Information or Questions? |
