If you are interested in duPont powders, competitors offerings and the history of black powder making in America, go to the Hagley Museum website. There is enough info there to overwhelm anybody's curiosity. When I worked for duPont in Wilmington, Delaware, my wife had a friend at the Hagley and we saw amazing items seldom put on display

My father worked for Dupont in the 50's. Wish he had grabbed some of the old tins.
