I ended up with these, they were in a box at an auction I won, I believe they are black powder accessories, or they belong to a grandfather clock or an 1800s sump pump.  The parts in the box are what I'm not sure about, the jags are all notated, "50 cal.", "45 cal.", etc. Those I sort of have figured out. The large brass flask is some sort of powder horn, but the other parts I have no idea. Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File I also ended up with the barrel from an English 1854 or 1842 black powder pistol. I'm assuming that's why the parts in the box are black powder. Attached File Attached File Attached File Thanks. |

| Not sure, but the large brass tube could be a Lyman brass powder reservoir for their powder measure so it could be used with black power - which is sensitive to static electricity and shouldn't be put into the plastic reservoir. Some of the other tube pieces look to be powder drop tubes used in loading black powder to get better compression of the powder by dropping it a longer distance into the case. |
