So, here are my different creations from 2021:
And now some close ups.
Here is a picture of the front of my cartridge box for .44 Army paper cartridges:
And here is the back of the .44 Army cartridge box:
The front of the .36 Navy cartridge box:
And the back of the same .36 Navy cartridge box:
Here is one for the .31 Pocket models:
And the back of the .31 Pocket paper cartridge box:
All of these molds were made by Lee Precision for Eras Gone By, and are historically accurate molds. I do not have a British Kerr revolver yet, but hope to some day! So I went ahead and got the proper mold, and here’s a picture of the front of that box:
Along with the rear of the same .44 Kerr British Army box:
Here is the “Richmond Laboratories” .36 Navy which I designed for one of the more famous Confederate cap and ball revolvers, the Spiller & Burr:
And, you guessed it, the rear of that box:
Here’s a peek inside. Most are similar – seven holes, holding six rounds and one hole for percussion caps. Except for the .31 caliber; those are six holes total with five for paper cartridges and one for percussion caps.
I also watched a video on how to recreate the proper loading for the .58 Caliber rifled musket. I made period correct paper wrappers for 10 cartridges + a tube of percussion caps, but also created a non-period correct box, being more sturdy, for display:
And what the heck? I might as well create some paper cartridges and a box for my .69 Caliber Tower Pistol reproduction!
For the bullet lube tins I used old Crosman .22-caliber pellet tins. Here is one with the 3:1 beeswax to lamb’s tallow mix:
And one with the 2:1 mix:
Both of those are primarily used for dipping bullets for cap and ball revolvers. For filling lube grooves on cast bullets for the .58-caliber, I use a stiffer mixture of 8:1:
And then I created a Mink Oil Tin for patch lubrication for my flintlock firearms:
And just to prove it was me…
great job Jay I'm impressed, they look spot on... 
Ended up buying Mrs. YK a new one as she was less than pleased...
