Rare J Erskine Patent 49 Pinfire Cartridge Loading Machine, made in Newton Stewart, Scotland.
A handsome and complete example of maple-veneered loading machine, complete with the accessories so often missing - powder tray, four-pronged wadding press, powder measure tray, wadding tray. This size machine is rare, and this example with maple wood finish maybe unique as I have never heard of another.
The original patent brass badge fixed to the interior, with J ERSKINE VR PATENT. This item dates from 1862.
