Group of four early 20th-century percussion cap tins produced by the Remington Arms Company. Includes two musket cap tins labeled “100 United States Musket Caps – Waterproof,” each featuring the spread-winged eagle logo and red Remington DuPont mark, one smaller “Central Fire” tin with similar branding, and one plain brown-lacquered tin. All four have been previously opened and retain clean, intact copper percussion caps inside. Collectively, they represent Remington’s late percussion-to-cartridge era marketing and packaging style.
