This is a very nice japanned tin container with lid and printed paper label.

Measuring 1” tall and 1.5” in diameter, and retaining nearly all japanned brown finish. Orange paper label on the lid reads, “PERCUSSION PRIMERS / 250 / No. 1 BERDAN / [dog image] / Central Fire / FOR / METALLIC CARTRIDGES”.

Tin is approximately three-quarters full with a mix of brass and copper primers.

Patented in 1866 by Colonel Hiram Berdan, Berdan primers are a type of primer used in centerfire cartridges. Used when “reloading” cartridges. While invented in the U.S., they became the standard for European and Asian military ammunition.  [jet][PH:L]
