Found original 45-75 cartridge

Looking for something else came across this original 45-75 wcf cartridge. Do not know where it came from  but think it really cool. I look at it and it like it's speaking to me to bite the bullet and get one of those new 1876's I handled down in Fredericksburg, Texas.  Hope the pictures come out.

I wonder how old it is?  Sure looks in good shape.

Excellent shape— easy to picture loading it into a Crossfire or NWMP carbine.
