CIVIL WAR ARTILLERY PROJECTILE FUSE PACKETS –
FRANKFORD ARSENAL – SEALED IN EXCELLENT CONDITION -
DATED 1863 & 1864: These original packets of US
Artillery Timed Fuses were produced at the Frankford
Arsenal and have survived in excellent condition. All
of these packets are still sealed in the original bright
colored paper wrappers which allowed the gunners to
identify at a glance the time of the fuse each packet
contained, and all of the original cloth pull tapes are
present and intact. The labels are all legible with no
loss of text. These are very attractive packets in
excellent condition to add to your condition.
Note the spelling of “FUZE” in the label - “fuze” being
the contemporary spelling of the word.
I have the following packets available, each
individually listed below with accompanying photographs.

CIVIL WAR 10 SECOND FUSE PACKET: An
original Civil War Artillery Shell Fuse Packet, wrapped
in brown paper with the ink stamped notation, "10.S",
indicating it contains 10 second fuses. The paper
packet is in excellent condition, appearing never to
have been opened and with the original string tie
intact. The only sign of wear or aging is a tiny
pin hole at the bottom edge of the front of the packet
where the paper has rubbed against the end of one of the
fuses. Overall, an excellent specimen.
