Z8184 Packet of 6 Combustible Envelope Cartridges (H.W.Mason)
Description: Decent original packet containing 6 combustible envelope cartridges manufactured by H.W. Mason of South Coventry, Connecticut. The cartridges are housed in a pasteboard packet wrapped in paper with an applied label. The entire packet was then varnished to protect the ammunition from the elements.

Henry W. Mason was in business from 1865-1888. After the Civil War, there was a need for correct ammunition for surplus firearms. H.W.Mason filled this need with these post-war packets. While these packets aren’t correct for a period cased set, they were made for period firearms and date to just after the American Civil War.

This example is in nice shape. There are a few small cracks to the surface of the paper on the bottom side of the packet. I can hear loose powder which means one or more of the cartridges inside are broken.
Measures: 3” x 1.5” x .25”
