HC to what time frame?

irish:
1840s to 1860s  or so.    54 cal percussion dixie gun works kit.  irish

RichW:
Brass tube, yes.  With a partition in the middle, and spring loaded caps on each end.  I don't know, but I think they may have been intended for powder and shot.  They go back to at least the 1840's.
