ELEY PERCUSSION CAP TIN FOR COLTS REVOLVERS:  These desirable Eley Percussion Cap Tins are actively sought after to complete cased sets for the various Colt Percussion Pistols. 

I have the following Eley cap tins available, each listed below with accompanying photographs and description.

 

NO. 1:  Measuring 1 ½” in diameter and 1 ¼” tall, this tin is complete with a fully legible the label with a minimum of soiling.  The tin retains both the original upper and lower sections in full form with no damage and the metal retains the majority of the original varnish finish.  This will be a nice addition to your cased Colt Revolver Set.  (0703)  $200 

 

NO. 2:  Measuring 1 ½” in diameter and 1½” tall, this tin is taller than normally seen and is complete with a fully legible top lid label with a minimum of soiling and the seldom encountered wrapper label covering the sides of the tin body.  The tin retains both the original upper and lower sections in full form with no damage and the metal retains quite a bit of the original varnish finish on the edges and on the bottom.  This will be a nice addition to your cased Colt Revolver Set.  (0727)  $250 

 

NO. 3:  The shorter version of the Eley Cap Tin, this tin measures 1 ½” in diameter and 5/8” tall.  The tin is complete with a legible but somewhat darkened label from handling and storage.  The brass tin retains both the original upper and lower sections in full form with no damage.  Still a nice addition to your cased Colt Revolver Set.  (0602)  $150
