WONDERFUL UMC CARTRIDGE BOARD
02-23055
54.5″ x 41.5″ oak framed, cast gesso panels at top & bottom: “TRADE U.M.C. MARK” & “THE UNION METALLIC CARTRIDGE CO”. 24″ x 17″ central diamond shaped illustration depicting three bugling bull elk, three deer, in lush terrain overprinted with large “U.M.C.” overprint. Mounted are numerous cartridges which are all labeled, including 126 centerfire, 36 rimfire, 3 pinfires, 9 shotgun shells, 1″ Gatling Gun cartridge, blasting caps, primers, cannon friction primers, and more. This is among the highest condition UMC cartridge board you will find, amazingly it is still paper sealed on back, appears never opened. Backing board with text is clean with crisp text, all attached bullets near perfect, with very light corrosion to just a few. Surviving boards show considerable light fading, this board still has all of its bright colors and it would be difficult to upgrade. This board is from the Stagecoach museum and pictured on page 43 of collection book.
PROVENANCE: Stagecoach Museum collection. Formerly from the collection of Steve Farfaro.
