Neat box o' antiques, but I'd be afraid to actually fire most of that. Is it safe to use?

Man, those look just like Burnside cartridges. What are they? Makes me wonder if relic hunters have dug them thinking they were ACW.

Was it shipper fail or carrier?

Safe? Yes. Just be sure to clean the weapon same day in case of mercuric primers.
