howdy yall,
i have seen on this site and as well on the internet pictures of cartridge boxes made up too look like originals henry cartridge boxes.
can any one tell me where i can get my grubby paws on a few of these.
also i have seen on spg web site period style boxes for primers and such.
  ( http://blackpowderspg.com/index.html)

and while i'm asking i have seen period style packages for the colts cap and ball  paper cartridges.

i know cheyenne or some one like that was making period cartridge boxes for a while but i can find nothing on the henry boxes or the colts or the period reloading .
  any help would be greatly appreciated as my little life will be incomplete with out these

On January 27, 1863 Augustus A. Bennett received Letters Patent No 37,485 for an  "Improvement In Cartridge-Boxes".  On April 14, 1863 Mr Bennett received Reissue No 1,451 for a modification of the Cartridge-Boxes described in Letters Patent No 37,485 to consist of "a metallic or other box".  The modification became the Civil War Era Cartridge Box known as the Kittredge

Sgt John Chapman might have what you need.  His boxes aren't exact repros, but fairly close.  Just scroll down and you'll see his post.

I ended up making my own using the print artist software, and got pretty close to the originals.  I'm still trying to figure out how to do the black or dark purple boxes with the gold letters.  Not an easy chore.
