Bullet Container? Mystery?
Hello everyone. Well, I finally bought one of these out of curiosity. There are a few of these that are offered for sale on Ebay. These small containers are described for carrying bullets, grease, patches, etc. These are too small to carry pre-made cartridges. And I don't believe these were used to carry greased patches and the like. The body and lid are cast brass. The crude casting does look old. I don't think these items would have much Tourist interest.
So, my question is: Does anyone know what these were actually used for?
Any help appreciated. Thanks, Rick.
