I have a full 6 lb. can of DuPont Fg powder. The black and white DuPont label pictures a dreadnought and two wooden wheeled cannons, but I seriously doubt it of that vintage. I suspect more like the late 60s.
My question - Is there anyone out there who collects powder containers and could help me figure out its age?
I saw a book by a guy named Ted Bacyk that seems like a good bet, but do not have a copy nor can I find an address to contact him.
 
That sounds like a very dangerous thing to have laying around! So in the sprite of warmth and compassion I’m willing to take on the burden and allow you to give that nasty time bomb to me for safe and responsible disposal. No charge of coarse, “ I live to serve.”
 
Phil,
It is heartwarming to hear of your desire to help me. Your willingness to put yourself in danger to assist me is at the same time both selfless and most generous, but I’m afraid my conscience will not allow it.
