An original box of 100 (99 present) unused & primed 16 bore shotgun cartridges made for H&H by Eley-Kynoch in the 1950's-60's (The firm of Pursall and Phillips operated a 'percussion cap manufactory' at Whittall Street, in Birmingham, in the mid-19th century. In 1856, Scottish entrepreneur George Kynoch joined the company. An explosion in 1859 destroyed the works, killing 19 of the 70 employees. As a result, the firm moved to Witton in 1862, on a site adjacent to the London and North Western Railway's Grand Junction line. In 1863, Kynoch took over the business, which was subsequently renamed G. Kynoch and Co. A further series of explosions in the 1860s and in 1870 led to dozens of deaths and hundreds of injuries). They have the name "The Dominion" on the side of the cases. In perfect condition they are ideal for the collector or re-loader. Box lid absent. The price includes UK delivery. O 356
