    Description

    UMC Co. Bridgeport, Conn. USA
    The Union Metallic Cartridge Company
    Rhe company was founded in 1867 during the most
    rapid evolution of cartridge design to date.
    10 98 on bottom of cartridge
    This has been in my family as long as I can remember.
    My Father & Grandfather were all Army during the Spanish
    American War & all wars since up to Cuban Crisis in the '60's
    I don't know if this was Spanish American War or WWI
    As an Army Brat it's tough
    to let go but it's time for a collector
    to take care of it and enjoy it.
    The design is rare... no one would have expected butterlies
    but it's very well done. If you look from inside you can see tiny
    bits of light so there are teeny holes, I would think from the tool
    used for artwork. The top is also dented. Please look at all photos.
    Stands about 5 1/2" Tall & about 1 1/2" in diameter
