A bright and highly graphic ½ lb. red-painted powder tin featuring two standout lithographed labels: one depicting a dramatic hunting scene with a rifleman and the other with a colorful mallard duck mid-flight, captioned “Dead Shot.” Produced by the American Powder Mills, with noted locations in Boston, Chicago, and St. Louis, this product line was marketed as “Triple Refined” and favored by sportsmen for accuracy and performance. A quintessential example of Gilded Age sporting goods branding. Dimensions: Approx. 4 in. wide x 1 ½ in. deep x 4 ½ in. high. Pickup & Shipping: This lot may be picked up free of charge in Gardnerville, NV. It can also be delivered to the Annex Auctions facility for pick up in Sacramento for $25, or shipped via FedEx or USPS within the continental U.S. for $30. All shipments include Direct Signature Required and full replacement value insurance at a rate of 1.5% of the purchase price, unless the buyer accepts full liability in writing. Combined lot shipping is typically discounted. Very good overall. Light wear to edges and surface consistent with age. Both labels present and mostly intact, with minor soiling and small scuffs.
