Title: Original Henry cartridge box label
Post by: Abilene on April 24, 2025, 08:54:01 AM
I've had this photo of a Henry cartridge box for a dozen years.  I'm not sure where I got it, possibly from antiqueguns.com

I don't recall seeing one like it here.  Searching through the forum for posts about cartridge boxes does show a number of posts that were links to ebay ads that are no longer there and a few pictures have been posted that no longer show up.  Anyway, This one is fancy and very cool.  Here you go.

 :)  Abilene  ;)

At be a really cool cartridge box label.  A while back, Major 2 made me some Cartridge Box Labels and some cartridge boxes.  They are really cool too.  I'll have to see if I can get a picture to post (fat chance) or cajole Major 2 to post it for me.

Maybe you posted that picture and I got it from here?  Could be.  ;)  Stand by...

Okay, I just went back to the Oct.2009 time frame on this forum (the date on my pic) and I see where someone wanted a Henry label by New Haven Cart. Co. and you said you weren't able to post it here for some reason but you sent it to him.  There are a number of other broken links and missing pics from around that time frame, but I'm guessing this one maybe came from you.

I vaguely remember I did send them to different folks.
I do recall sending the boxes & labels to Mike.
Or maybe handed them over when he was on Mouse Safaree.

I think I still have some you want some ?

I was not alone; River City John had a bunch too.

I had made some WW1 Food labels too for my museum display.
