Fine Smith & Wesson No. 1 Cartridge Box
This is an excellent little box for No. 1 (22 Short) cartridges featuring the metallic blue label with gold embossed information, this variant without images of the revolver or cartridges. The label is lovely showing a little subtle staining and some mild wrinkling while the embossed lettering remains almost entirely intact having taken on a nice mellow patina. The label shows single 1860 patent date and pointing hand ''NB'' notification. The box proper is fine marbled red and black paper-covered with buff end stickers showing Smith & Wesson signature, these show some light flaking to be expected, but are otherwise quite nice, one side still mostly uncut. The interior is blue paper and has a nicely made wooden block inside. A lovely example. (13C10826-791-3) [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson, Jr. Collection] (2500/3500)
