Around 1820 or so Eley made a cartridge for holding shot to load in a smoothbore. It looked to me like a piece of chicken wire fence made of copper, with smaller holes, of course. I've lost the picture I had. Does anybody know of one?

I can't help with the picture, but you can read an article on Eley's Patent Wire Cartridge on my web site.
If anyone can offer a picture to go along with this article it would be great!
