Up for bidding in this lot is an early original Missoula Mercantile Company Gunpowder Tea crate. The box originally held 5lbs of gunpowder tea. Starting in 1880, the Missoula Mercantile Company once was home to the largest department store between Minneapolis and Seattle, selling anything from horseshoes to hosieries. The box originates from around the turn of the 19th century, and is in good condition, it displays some edge split. The box measures 7 1/2" x 10 3/4" x 7 5/8".
