- Lot Description
AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR 'ESSEX' CARTRIDGE BOX AND BELT American Revolutionary War cartridge box of the pattern known to some collectors as the "Essex" box, due to a few identified examples either found in Essex County, Massachusetts or identified to Continental Army soldiers from Essex County (notably one in the Cape Ann Historical Society in Gloucester, MA and another in a private Pennsylvania collection), all three still bearing their original alum-tanned, buffed leather strap of horsehide. These boxes were copies of British light infantry/Highland type cartridge pouches, which were fitted with 18-hole wooden cartridge blocks and the flap is secured to the bottom of the box by a brass hook and clasp arrangement. It has an implement pocket for flints and gun tools on the front of the box, covered by the flap. These boxes were furnished to both Continental and state troops from Massachusetts during the Revolutionary War. The original 18-hole block of this block was replaced with a 24-hole block of pine—probably done by a wartime veteran in order to render his box suitable for post-war militia service, following the adoption of a national militia act that required all cartridge boxes to be capable of holding 24 rounds. The original wooden tray remains below the box. Box dimensions (not inclusive of flap): 5 1/2 in. H x 8 1/2 in. W x 2 in. D; crossbelt (not incl. tab ends) 48 in. L x 2 in. W. Leather condition very good and relatively supple for age of artifact.
