A nice leather pouch issued to artillerymen to carry cannon friction primers.

After the cannon was loaded, a metal, tubular, friction primer was placed in the top vent of the cannon. A cord was then attached to the loop on friction primer and, when the command to fire was given, the cord was pulled igniting the primer and firing the cannon.

Has U.S. Navy Yard, Boston maker marks and intact belt loops.
