I have a box of old items of my Grandpa's. I am not looking to sell it or anything just would like some info on one of the items.
The item is a Dixon and Sons Black powder kit. I looked online but never found any that looked like this one. It is complete with 3 chambers. One for primers, one for balls and the other with powder. All chambers are filled, which is pretty neat.
Questions I have.
How old is it?
What time period was this most likely used in?
Is this a common item found today?
What might it be worth?
Other than this item, there are several old paper shotgun shells and a lot of old tools. I plan on making a collection box and hanging above the fireplace. This is one of the items I will be putting in with some old guns.
Thanks for the help and I appreciate any and all info.
