A charming and scarce wooden powder keg marked “Triple Refined Dead Shot Sporting Powder,” manufactured by the American Powder Company of Boston. This company operated during the mid to late 19th century and produced high-grade black powder marketed to sportsmen and hunters. The keg retains its original black-and-white pictorial label depicting a rural hunting scene with a rifleman and dog. The staved wooden body is bound with iron hoops, and the original wooden bung remains in place. A faded secondary label is present on the opposite end. This compact format suggests it was intended for personal or sporting use rather than commercial distribution. Dimensions: Approx. 7 in. diameter x 8 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 $70. 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. Good for age. Label on one end is largely intact with some loss; secondary label heavily worn. Wooden staves are stable, though hoops show age shrinkage and cracking.
