Z7724 Eley 12MM Lefaucheux Pinfire Cartridge Tin

Description: Decent early tin that once contained 50 12MM pinfire cartridges for Lefaucheux system revolvers. This tin has a green label with black print with surface wear. This tin would date to 1874+ when the name Eley Brothers switched to Eley Brothers Limited.

This tin is in nice shape for its age. There are a few small dents with a little rust on the inside. The bottom half has soldered corners whereas the top corners remain unsoldered. A nice example with the "EBL” registered trademark.

Measures: 4.75” x 2.25” x 1”

Reference: "Eley Cartridges” Harding Pg. 77
