Dingee Click images to enlarge Description Up for Consideration is a Wonderful Example of Scarce Union Civil War Federal Model 1855 .58 Cal. Pistol Carbine Cartridge Box with Original Tins and Made by H.A. Dingee of New York! c1855-65 Here is a pleasing, good-looking and complete specimen of the Federal Model 1855 .58 Cal. Cartridge Box. The 1855 pistol carbine was part of the new series of arms adopted by the U.S. in 1855. Slightly more than 4,000 were manufactured from 1855 into 1857. The weapon was a single-shot .58 caliber muzzle-loading pistol with a Maynard tape primer. Provided with a detachable shoulder stock, it was intended for use on horseback or on foot, either as a pistol or carbine. This pattern of cartridge box was adopted for it, though Todd notes that it could be used for the 1855 rifle carbine as well. Constructed of black leather, the box follows the general pattern of rifle boxes, having only vertical loops on the reverse for wear on a waist belt. The box holds two magazine tins, like the infantry box, each fitted with a lower compartment for a pack of unopened cartridges in reserve and an upper open tray for ten cartridges ready for use. The face of the box has the implement pouch, introduced in 1855, with its own small flap and latch tab. The belt loops are firmly in place and correctly attached at the bottom by stitching only. The inner flap, slightly longer than the infantry box, is in place with its side ears as well. The latch tab, secured with a single line of stitching is firmly attached and the brass finial is in place. As is correct for this pattern, there is one buckle missing on the bottom of the pouch as is the front snap flap which usually was the first thing to ware down. One divider in the upper tray of one magazine tin is may be missing but I believe that these were removed purposely. The color and finish is very good overall with just typical crazing and minor losses underneath old polish in some areas. The box was fitted with a standard oval US cartridge box plate, which is not unusual since these boxes were taken into service during the Civil War. This Pat, 1855 Cartridge Box is a wonderful example of what the Civil War Union Soldier carried on his person, day in and day out. For the Civil War collector, this canteen makes an ideal accessory to any personal grouping. Measures 8.0 inches wide By 7.0 tall by 2.60 inches deep and marked H.A Dingee New York on inside flap.
