UNION METALLIC CARTRIDGE COMPANY GREEN LABEL BOXES
OF .40 -2 5/8 INCH “NECKED” CALIBER SHARPS RIFLE
CARTRIDGES – 10 ROUND BOXES IN VERY GOOD CONDITION:
Also known as the .40–90 Necked as introduced by Sharps
in 1876, these are very collectable .40-2 5/8 inch caliber Bottlenecked
Sharps Rifle ammunition cartridge boxes, bearing the
desirable Union Metallic Cartridge company green
label.
These earlier style boxes with the UMC label without the cartridge
picture, and bearing the desirable Sharps Rifle
reference on the label, do not appear on the collector
market very often, and will make a nice
addition to display with your rifle.
I currently have the boxes
listed below for sale. Each box is individually
described and priced below with accompanying
photographs.
