war of 1812

I have an opportunity to buy this piece, the seller is describing it simply as a Military Cartridge Box. I'm hoping the experts here might be able to tell me where this piece originated and the age. I have no details on the dimensions or what the interior looks like other then the pics you see...

This button appears to have the letters “OUV” on the front and “WALKER No” and “KING STREET” on the back. This is from an early 19th century site in North Alabama. Research suggests it is an Oxford University Vols button, but that would be pretty hard to imagine being found here. Any...

Brass, 21.55 mm, I believe the backmark says “CARTER” and “STREET”. Any thoughts on what this is and how I can clean it to make it more readable? From a pre-1812 fort in the southeast. Rough condition. Is it worth anything?

Hello! I'm new here, and hoping this is the right place to put this, but I am looking for any War of 1812 artifacts such as buttons, musketballs, crossbelt plates, etc. from the War of 1812, especially if they're from the Maryland/Virginia area. British or American is fine. Thank you!
