Description: This box is an early Union Metallic Cartridge Co. (UMC) .44 S&W American box. It's style is very characteristic of the early UMC boxes, featuring the single "Dog's Head" logo, along with the image of a S&W American Model. The originals of this box are extremely rare in any condition. In fact, the only photo of this box I know of exists in Charles Pate's excellent monograph on the S&W American Model. Note the original picture shows the label repurposed for the .44 Russian Cartridge. Also note, because there was no "Russian" model at the time this label was originally printed, it does not make a distinction between the American or Russian pistols - hence the word "American" is not used. All of the boxes I've recreated all date to the 1880's and are what collectors now, for obvious reasons, refer to as "picture boxes." These are not photocopies or printed from pictures I've Googled. These are high resolution, digital recreations and are professionally printed. For reference, I've included a picture of an original at the end of the photos. The reproduction box is, of course empty, with the side wrappers sealed. However, you can cut the wrappers and open it for display if you'd prefer. Buyer pays fixed shipping. Let me know if you have questions or need further pictures. Auction is for one box.****UPDATE**** Due to the fluctuation in chipboard availability I'm being forced to limit my stock and make most cartridges boxes to order. Because of this, I'm having to extend my handling time to 5 days instead of 3. HOWEVER, most orders will continue to ship with in 1-3 days. But larger orders with multiple boxes may take 4-5 days. I will try to keep some of the better sellers on hand, but the availability of materials will ultimately determine what can be stocked. Thank you for your patience and don't hesitate to contact me if you need something quickly.
