A guy I work with came in today and asked me if I wanted some FF Black powder. I said sure why not. He presented me with two pounds that are full cans. I about couldn't believe what he give me.
I looked up the Dupont BP and here's what I found. I still haven't found exactly how old the Goex on the right is. This Dupont is somewhere around a 100 to 200 years old and the can is full. If anyone has anymore information about this powder, let me know.
Here's a article on the Dupont Black Powder I found on the net.
Making Black Powder in the DuPont Company Powder Yards
E. I. du Pont founded his black powder works on Brandywine Creek near Wilmington, Delaware in 1802. The DuPont Company black powder yards made powder for over 100 years, and supplied over half of the gunpowder used by the Union Army in the Civil War. This tour will explain the processes of making blasting powder and gunpowder produced by the DuPont Company in the black powder yards on the Brandywine from 1802 to 1921.
