Brass cartridge box plate bearing an encircled Royal Cipher beneath a crown, ca. 1778 - 1784. Inscribed "Butler's / Rangers" to circular border. Approx. 2 1/16 x 3 in.
18TH CENTURY BUTLER'S RANGERS BOX PLATE.
Butler's Rangers were a prominent and notoriously ruthless Tory regiment raised by the eponymous Lieutenant Colonel John Butler (ca. 1728 - 1796), consisting of American Loyalists who had fled to Canada at the outbreak of the war. Alongside British-allied Native American forces, the rangers wrought havoc throughout New York and Pennsylvania. They were key participants in the Wyoming and Cherry Valley massacres.
An extremely rare box plate from a notorious loyalist regiment.

The brass exhibits light verdigris and a dark patina, but traces of the original brass finish are visible. There is significant wear to the crown and loops. Condition is as shown.
