Highly desirable, very scarce Winchester lithograph cartridge board "Double W" 1902 pattern "Cartridge Board" with original wood frame. Ex. Senimore Art Museum. These lithograph boards were produced c. 1902, and represent the older 1897 style cartridge boards without having any physical cartridges attached. In the center is a vignette of two Winchester-armed hunters behind a dead bear in a woodland scene, which is flanked with a moose head and a mallard in flight. Over 100 cartridges, bullets and primer tins are represented in the "Double W" pattern. This board saw the addition of some new cartridges that were not represented on the 1897 pattern board, as well as a repositioning of the mallard so that it is not blocked by "cartridges". Framed. 32" x 50"
PERIOD: Early 20th Century
