An English oval brass percussion cap box dating to around the mid-19th century, featuring a hinged lid with spring tension and a suspension ring at the top. The plain, unmarked exterior and smooth, patinated brass body suggest sporting or officer’s field use. The interior is hollow, designed for storing loose percussion caps rather than dispensing them, typical of cap boxes carried in hunting kits or shooting pouches during the percussion era. Dimensions approx.: 3 x 2 x 1.5 in. Provenance: The Al and Carol Cali Collection. 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 pre invoice. Shipping via FedEx within the continental U.S. for $50 + 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing). Combined lot shipping available. Very good, with a smooth aged patina and minor surface wear from use. Lid spring remains functional with secure closure; interior shows normal oxidation consistent with age and storage.
