Picked it up at a garage sale, I know it's an old cap box but not sure how old it is. Anyone have an idea? I can make out "Wilkinson MASS"

I don't recall ever seeing Artillery Crossed Cannons (covering leather ID) or company name on back of a musket cap pouch. I have a feeling it is aged but was used for reenactments - I am sure if I am wrong a member will correct me (it happens all the time!). :laughing7:

pics of the inside and of how the insignia is attached would be helpful

I find it strange that the crossed cannons are covering a oval makers mark. Clearly not the intention of the manufacturer to cover that area.
