A Hazard Powder Co. "Kentucky Rifle Gunpowder" 1/2lb tin. Hazard Powder Co. was one of three leading gunpowder manufacturers in the United States throughout the 19th-century, alongside Dupont and Laflin & Rand. It was founded in 1835 and bought by its namesake in 1837. DuPont gained stock control of the company following Colonel Hazard's death in 1868, however it would became a part of Hercules Powder Company when Dupont's assets were divided in 1912.
