Description: Very rare empty box for the .60 or 20 gauge Colt Revolving Shotgun. This style of box uses a split wooden block which was used 1860+.

There are other examples out there marked for buckshot in a few sizes. The paper label is intact on the front, top, and back, with some remaining on the other sides.
