U. S. Cartridge Boxes
We make unmarked as well as marked cartridge
boxes. Unmarked boxes were common in the Pattern 1857 version. If you prefer unmarked, just let us know. If you are representing particular theaters of operations and
would enjoy copies of specific makers productions, I have listed separately those that we reproduce. These are high quality,
handmade boxes with useable tins. I have made and collected cartridge boxes and cap boxes since 1972. We will trade for original cartridge boxes, cap pouches etc. Contract us for details.
All our U. S. Accoutrements are custom
made here in our shop in Neosho. They are hand sewn with hand waxed linen thread and made of top grade leather. The period
finish is hand applied to finish out the items. Each item is a faithful copy of its original counterpart right down to the
makers marks. Our in house graphic design team has painstaking recreated each makers mark in great detail. These are museum
quality boxes suitable for use in reenacting, museum exhibition and for collectors of a dying art form.

Pattern 1861 Cartridge Boxes
The Pattern 1861 Boxes were the wartime contract boxes with
rivited waist belt loops. Federal contractors were required to mark their products. Production began in July 1862. However
some of the Pattern 1857 items made after Nov. 1861 reflect the rivits in the waist belt loops as there was something of a
transitional period. The .69 caliber smoothbore boxes went out of production in February 1862. Following that date, when smoothbore
arms were issued the .69. rifled musket box was issued. When necessary, cartridge boxes were issued on the basis of if the
ammunition fits, use it.

Western Contractor J. B. Sickles St. Louis Pattern 1861 Cartridge Box
At
the outbreak of the Civil War, J. B. Sickles was a well established St. Louis firm. Originally located at 509 N. Main Street,
Sickles manufactured all types of horse tack as well as selling saddlery hardware.
Sickles
produced at least 10,000 sets of infantry accoutrements during the Civil War. Incorporated in 1882 the company continued in
business well into hte 1940's.
Our
reproduction Sickles cartridge box is copied from an original that featured extensive use of waxed flesh leather in the latch
tab, tool pouch, as well as waist and shoulder belt loops. The use of waxed flesh leather is indicative of the leather shortages
create by war-time demand. The original box is believed to have been issued to a Kansas soldier.
