Spanish American Cartridge Belt?

[AmericanKraut]

I recently came across this cartridge belt which reminds me of equipment from the spanish american war. It could be a civilian item or different era, I am not familiar with that eras equipment.
Comments welcomed
Thanks, Ben

Looks like a hunting rig. Shotgun type. I found a leather one at the flea market auction left overs. Rich A. in Pa.

Thanks rich thats what I was leaning towards since it seems rather "rigged"

The belts are pretty similar in design. Happy hunting wednesday, It will be 4 months till our flea markets start again...

What is that worth? Because I saw one at an antique store for $125 US and wasn't sure what it was (but it looked military) or what it was worth.

Must be an antique store that doesnt like to sell items... I cant imagine that there is that much value in a rig like it, maybe 5-10$? I am not up to date on vintage hunting items though only modern hunting gear.
