I don't know if its against the rules, but I found these one Etsy. I saw one the other day at a gunshow but used my money on a can of blackpowder and my 66 uberti winchester. They also make other "old west" ammo accouterments

Last actual real honest to goodness original boxes of 44 Henry Flat auctioned for STUPID money. One went for 600 Bucks and was wrapped in about half a mile of packaging tape to keep it together. The other one went for a grand and had just a tiny piece of tape on a corner.
Just a little expensive on a "per shot" basis to be able to play with your shooter grade (10 grand +) Henry. Or shooter grade original 1866.
Boo Hisssssssssssss. Expecial with cartridges ya can't reload.

Well actually you can reload rim fires but it's a pain in patoot. Years ago "Backwoods" magazine had an article on it. Apparently you take the white tips off strike anywhere matches. Grind them up and make a slurry. Then you put them in the spent case, chuck it in a drill and spin it fast. The circular force causes it to get in the rim. When you put it in the breech it needs to be orientated so the firing pin will hits opposite of the previous one. Apparently you can get a fair percentage of discharges. Like I said a real pain. Then again if you were stranded with a bunch of spent rim fire cases, some lead, powder and plentiful supply of matches, what would you have to lose? I have never tried this and just offer it for your amusement.

There are many ways to spin the case. One might have a Yankee drill or a brace.

Sorry to hi-jack the thread. I read an article that I wish I could find that some archeologists had found rimfires in the southwest, essentially in Apache country that showed they may have been reloaded several times. Each had multiple marks on the rim from being hit. I believe the article indicated they would do what Will is talking about, but using percussion caps and then spinning them by hand.

I'd be more inclined to think they were "miss-fires" that had to be ejected, loaded and struck several times. However, since I wasn't there, and my "Way Back Machine" is on the Fritz so I don't really know. Don't even have a good guess. Let the Arche yolo zits figure it out.
Happy Thursday!!

Back when I was young and stupid (now I'm just stupid) a friend and I did reload some 22's to see if it could be done. With just the slurry, our fire vs. miss fire rate was 1:4. Then we found by heating the slurry, our rate would improve. We thought we were onto something until our pan blew up. I have not tried it since.

In Southern Alberta, near Lethbridge, there occured the Battle on the Belly. The last great indian/indian fight with a similar scenario to Custer's last battle, but a few years earlier. About 600 Cree thought they'd get some revenge on the Blackfoot. The scouting party thought they'd found a likely target, a sleepy village at dawn. What they didn't see was that there were thousands of Sioux visiting their cousins. Only a handful of Cree made it home!
When the anthropologists got around to doing a survey prior to urban sprawl, they found both empty and misfired .44 Henry and Spencer cases showing multiple strikes. The theory was that through poor storage conditions and age, the ammo had deteriorated, making successful shots uncertain. (Rattlesnakejack probably has the reference paper.)

I have used .45 Schofield Cheyenne Cartridge boxes with labels glued on with rubber cement. I use 45 Schofields in mine as a "44 Henry duplication load", so the boxes work great.
I had some really nice labels I made in the past, but have no idea what I did with the JPEG file. This one I just cobbled up, and resized to 5" by 2 1/2". The first one is the one I used, but the other two are also re-scalable.

Would you have the dimensions for the 100 box that was avaliable during the Civil war?

If you check some auction sites like Julia, they may have one. They usually give dimensions. My Winchester labels books are packed, so that is your best bet. Also try the N-SSA forum, as those boys like Henry rifles, too.
