Was given these copper cased Benet primed (no centerfire primer) 45-70 cartridges made in the Frankford Arsenal between January 1874 - March 1875. No headstamp.......very cool.................I think anyway..........
Also given this item which states it is a Jaxon Torpedo made in USA/Orlando Florida....which I believe is an explosive charge that were used by placing on railroad tracks emitting a loud bang when ran over to warn engineers/trains of danger or problems up the line.......detonation is caused by crushing not impact.......probably unstable as hell being it is probably 100 years old or so ..............
