British naval artillery powder-bag passbox, 1800s. 1657 grams, 16" tall, 8" diameter. This wide canvas tube is so thickly coated on the outside as to have the feel of papier-mache, with British Royal arms (lion and unicorn flanking a crowned oval shield) in many colors painted on the side, brass rivets near top connecting to a leather carry-handle, the interior a plain grayish canvas, very sturdy and in excellent condition considering its age and use by "powder monkeys" to take the powder bags from the magazine to the cannons during battle. With certificate.
