A rare and collectible percussion cap tin from the 1870s. The label reads "250 Waterproof Percussion Caps for Central-Fire Breech-Loading Cases." The tin has a worn silver finish and includes a removable lid. This item would have been an accessory for cased Colt Thurl revolvers, specifically designed for use with central-fire ammunition.
