A C19th Leather Royal Navy Munitions Carrier

19th century
Description

A 19th Century Royal Navy leather gun powder carrier with painted Coat of Arms. Also referred to as Clarkson case. This fine example of a leather cordite once used as a munitions carrier, now used as stand for umbrellas or walking sticks. Could also be used as a coal or kindling bucket or even a waste paper bin!

Unusual to find them with the attractive riveted rims and the rarer side handle.

Clarkson cases were flash proof containers for bag charges (cartridges). Charges were placed into these containers before they left the magazines. The Clarkson’s Cases then rode up the hoists to the guns where the charges were removed only when it was time to load them into the breech. The Clarkson’s Cases were reusable and were returned to the magazines for reloading.
