Blackpowder

[shmrck1]

Having viewed some post here it is obvious there are
many B/P makers past and present that i have never
heard of. Anyone know of a collectors group that collects
old B/P or even B/P containers. :hmm:
snake-eyes :thanks: for any info

There is still the ruins of the old King's mill powder works in Cincinatti. A freind of mine managed to get into one of the buildings still standing there.
