Tall Leather Cordite Carrier

A superb leather cordite carrier. Constructed from a core of cork, bound in leather and lined in canvas. Stamped with the broad arrow symbol and the initials R.C.D., meaning that it belonged to the British Board of Ordnance and was made at the Royal Chatham dockyards. This munitions container dates circa 1915. A galvanised metal liner has been fitted to the interior at some time in the past, making it perfect as an umbrella or stick stand.

Dimensions: 74.5 cm/29⅜ inches (height) x 24cm/ 9½ inches (diameter).
