Sorry, but I cannot post photos at the moment. Photos of these can be found on ebay and ebay-uk.
Musket Caps: A black & white circular label with J. Goldmark's Perc. Caps, above and Winchester Repeating Arms Co., New Haven, below. Central element says U.S. MUSKET caps over Warranted Waterproof and a trademark involving a man with a peacock feather, riding a horse and shooting at somebody's bull.
There is a patent date of SEP.4 1867. (Many tins have a large red "W" overprinted on them, but not this one.)
The tin is full of copper caps with very small wings that perfectly fit my defarb 1861 and nothing else that I own. I tried one and it worked. Fulminate of mercury, maybe?
No.11 F.L.: Yellow label, Goldmark's Foil Lined Center Fire Staynless with Winchester address below including "Division of Olin Industries, Inc."
The tin is sealed, the seal has a red "W" and a date of 1878.
Joyce F4 No. 26: Green label, sealed tin of 250 caps. Manufactured at the ELEY-KYNOCH factories of Imperial Chemical Industries Limited, Metals Division, Witton, Birmingham, England.
The lid label says: "Successors To F. Joyce & Co. London, England" over "Metal Lined Percussion Caps F4 No.26"
There was an open tin of these in the lot and a sample cap fired vigorously, with a tremendous stink.
There are a couple sealed tins from ALCAN: G 12 F and G 11 F made in France and Italy respectively.
Lots of empty tins, some with replica labels, on E bay. The Joyce tin is pretty widely available on E bay UK.
There is also a tin of Berdan primers I left behind---but I might go back for it.
Again, sorry about the lack of photos.
