Objects (a), (b) and (c) are tubes carefully carved from hardwood with a beaded leather stopper. They are 4 1/2 X 1X 1. Each of these would contain the required amount of gunpowder for one charge of the flintlock. Object (d) 2 3/4X7/8X7/8 is an iron container of approximately the same capacity as objects a-c, and is perhaps used for the same purpose, though it (now) lacks a stopper.These objects are strung on a leather belt (45 inches long) with an iron hook.

Hearst Museum object titled Flintlock pouch set, accession number 9-21885a-c, described as Set of pouches for use with a flintlock rifle. Object (a) is a horn with a wooden stopper and an ingenious wooden pressure release to dispense small amounts of gunpowder to the flash pan of the flintlock by the striker. It is 5X2x1 1/2 inches.(b) is 4X31/4X1. It is a decorated leather pouch for lead balls used as bullets.(c) are three measured dispensers, 11X1X 7/8 each. They are made of leather and wood. Each wooden tube is divided in half at the center and has a leather stopper at the end. This makes six chambers each of which contain the required amount of gunpowder for one charge of the flintlock. Note that there is some gunpowder in the horn and in some of the chambers.

Hearst Museum object titled Flintlock set, accession number 9-21887a-f, described as Set of pouches for use with a flintlock rifle. Objects (a) and (f) are reservoirs for gunpowder. (a) currently contains approx. 1/4 cup of gunpowder, and (f) slightly less. The gunpowder is poured into small wooden containers (b) and (c) each of which contains the proper measure for firing one shot. Object (d) is a pouch for bullets. It currently contains nine lead bullets. They are each rough hollow spheres of lead, with the exception of one which appears to be solid lead. The hollow ones have raised lines encircling them on three axes. Inside are what appears to be seeds of some plant. Perhaps they are poisonous? All of these bullets are only vaguely spherical, some shaped more like an apricot pit. This suggests that it would be rather difficult to obtain much accuracy when aiming at a target.Object (e) is a horn with a wooden stopper and an ingenious wooden pressure release to dispense small amounts of gunpowder to the flash pan of the flintlock by the striker. .t is 5X2x1 1/2 inches.
