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. Dimensions approx.: 2 in. dia. x 1.875 to 1.5 in. dia. x 0.75 in. H Provenance: The Al and Carol Cali Collection. Pickup & Shipping: This lot may be picked up free of charge in Gardnerville, NV.

Shipping via FedEx within the continental U.S. for $50 + 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing). Combined lot shipping available.

Condition

Very good overall, showing minor surface wear and age patina; labels remain bright and legible, with light oxidation and handling marks consistent with period storage; interiors of all four examples show clean copper percussion caps.
