U.S. Civil War U.S. Navy Fuse Box, NY, Boston
This is an original Civil War U.S. Navy black leather Fuses Box that was carried on the belt. The box is in nice untouched condition and all of the leather is soft and pliable and all stitching is still tight. The box is relatively square and measures 4” wide x 3-1/2” high x 2-1/4” deep in shape to accommodate the shape of the friction primer packs. The box has a single wide belt loop which is sewn. The latch tab is sewn with a brass finial, and outer flap to cover the contents. Maker’s mark on the body of the box under the flap reads “U.S.N.Y. / BOSTON”. Please e-mail me with any questions.
