  1. Original Confederate States of America $100 Loan Bond.  This bond is serial number 2479.  It was professionally framed by the Frame & Art Gallery in Franklin, Tennessee.  It has acid-free matting and light filtering glass.  This is ready to hang in your den or relic room.--$275. (which is about what it cost to frame it)

  2. Very nice condition "Pay Roll" for Co. "C" - 6th Reg't MO. State Militia Cavalry.  It is dated Aug. 9, 1862.  MO. Cavalry artifacts are scarce to come by !!  There are several extra pages of research on the listed soldiers.--$95.

  3. Very nice autograph from Federal Major General Charles Pelot Summerall.  General Summerall lived from 1867 until 1955.  He is best known for being President of "The Citadel" in Charleston, S.C. from 1931 until 1953.  You very seldom see his autograph offered.--$38.

  5. Very nice condition, original February 20, 1863, Confederate $500 loan bond.  This bond pictures President Jefferson Davis and the South Carolina Palmetto tree.  The last coupon clipped was January 1, 1865, and the remainder are intact on the bond.--$150.

  13. Very nice condition, original 1888 regimental history for the 84th Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry.  This regimental history was written by A. R. Howbert who was a chaplain with the unit.  I don't think this regimental was ever reprinted, so this is likely your only chance to get a copy.  In thumbing through this regimental history, I saw several camps that are not likely documented anywhere else.--$95.

  14. Nice condition, 1861 date, 2-volume set of Lt. Colonel W. J. Hardee's Rifle and Infantry Tactics - published by J. O. Griffith and Co., 1861, Nashville, Tennessee.  Both volumes remain in good, stable condition and show clear evidence of actually being carried.  This two volume set of tactics was carried by David Creger of the 51st Ohio Volunteer Infantry.  Interestingly, the 51st Ohio Volunteer Infantry was in line of battle here at the Battle of Stones River during the famous Breckinridge's charge.  In this charge, it is believed that over 1800 Confederates died in 60 minutes.  This is a very historic little set of tactic manuals.--$450.

New York Infantry.  The interesting thing is that this Commission is dated May 15, 1865, AFTER THE END OF THE WAR, but perfect to receive a pension (with an extremely LOW RISK of being injured or killed !!)  Really nice frameable New York Commission.--$125.

  19. Excellent 3 Volume "Battlefields - Commanders - and Fighting Men" reference book series.  Almost all the pictures of relics are in color and are crystal clear.  I now use this set of reference books as much or more than any in my library.  These are the original "hardbacks".--$95. for the set of three

  22. Confederate States of America newspaper.  This is the "Daily Journal" out of Wilmington, North Carolina, for Tuesday, July 30, 1861.  Some of the advertisements are the most fun.  Of particular interest is a service offered by "Dr. Johnson".--$95.

  26. Original Civil War Soldier's Hymn Book distributed by "The United States Christian Commission".  This book shows lots of wear and was without question actually carried.  It has even had some Civil War Era stitching repair to the binding area.  These were extensively distributed and carried by many soldiers both US and CS.--$195.

E, 49th Tennessee Infantry.  Capt. Peacher was captured at Fort Henry and was confined at Johnson's Island Federal Prison.  The manual was published by J. W. Randolph, 121 Main St., Richmond, Virginia, 1861.  In almost 50 years, this is the only Confederate Manual by this publisher that I have ever had.--$850.SOLD

  30. One page Civil War letter written January 15, 1863, from "Camp near Moscow, Tennessee".  In this letter, Captain Joseph Chugman, who was commanding Company A of the 46th Illinois Volunteer Infantry, documents the destruction of excess baggage and unserviceable equipment.  This letter is written in brown quill ink and is light and hard to read in areas.--$45.

If you Relic hunt, or are a Battle Of Stones River student of history - YOU MUST HAVE A SET OF VOLUME 20 -- PARTS 1 AND 2 of the "Official Records of the War of the Rebellion".  I have literally recovered multi-thousands of Civil War Artifacts from this set of books.  There may not be the amount of artifacts here at Stones River that there once was, but there are still relics to be found.--$79.

  37. This is the "GENERAL INDEX" of the Official Records of the "War of the Rebellion".  It is the 1971 reprint by the National Historic Society.  I, personally, find this to be one of the more "research useful" books in the entire 128 vol. set.  It is hard to come by loose.--$45.

  38. REALLY NICE, Civil War Era, "Philopena Album" which is, in redneck terms, a "Civil War Era Autograph Album".  The album belonged to a young lady named, Sallie "Pierse" (?).  The autograph book runs through a good many years ranging from pre-Civil War to during the Civil War (with a few soldier's entries), and continues on to the post-Civil War years.  The book remains in nice condition with some poetry and artwork as well as autographs and well wishes.  Two of the soldier's entries are from the 7th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry.  There are many hours of fun reading and research to be had with this artifact.--$375.

Collection of five North South Trader Civil War Artifact Price Guides.  This group consists of 8th edition, 9th edition, 10th edition, 11th edition, and 12th edition.  This grouping of price guides runs from 1997 until 2010 and is an excellent source of tracking price fluctuations on thousands of artifacts.  These guides originally sold from $30 to $40 each.  All five issues for--$95.

  56. Autograph of Union Rear Admiral Hiram Paulding.  Admiral Paulding was appointed in 1861 by President Abraham Lincoln to be in charge of building up the Federal Navy Fleet.  He personally took over the New York Navy yard and oversaw the destruction of several Federal ships in port at the Norfolk Virginia shipyard to prevent them from falling into Confederate hands.  This is a comparatively rare autograph with rank to find.--$195.

  60. Quite hard to come by - 3 out of the 4 Parts of Vol. 34 - Official Records of The War Of The Rebellion.  This is the Trans-Mississippi Set for April - May, 1864.  I can guarantee from personal experience that there are some GREAT Relic Hunting spots hidden within these volumes !!--$65. for all three-SOLD

  61. Huge Military Atlas that was originally published to accompany the Official Records of the War of the Rebellion.  The atlas has been reprinted several times and is an absolute must have in doing Civil War research.  Mine is so worn that some of the pages have become dis-attached.  This book was, at one point in time, fairly available to find, but in the last few years has become difficult to get.  This example remains in very nice condition.--$95.

  62. Long out of print - One of the relic hunter classic books detailing what Relic Hunting was REALLY like back in the very earliest days (and with lots of pictures of the finds).  This is "RELIC HUNTER - The field account of Civil War Sites, Artifacts, and Hunting" by Howard Crouch.  I guarantee this book will have you amped, and ready to go digging in the morning !!--$65.

  63. Very sought after, original 1889 printing of Volume XXIV in all three parts.  This is the "Vicksburg" set and is without question loaded with research information that would result in some good relic hunting locations.--$125.

  65. Civil War date, August 9, 1861, receipt from Providence Tool Company for 3 bundles of iron weighing 353 pounds.  It is very likely that this wrought iron during the Civil War was on its way to becoming muskets, sabers, or bayonets.  Providence Tool Company itself produced both muskets and sabers during the Civil War.--$45.

  66. Very nice condition group of three "Day Orders" for the 33rd Regiment, New York State Volunteers.  All three documents remain in very nice condition and are dated the second half of 1861.--$150 for all three.

  67. Nice condition leather cartridge box with the brass device "MNG" which is believed to be Massachusetts National Guard, Maryland National Guard, or Maine National Guard.  This particular box came out of a Massachusetts estate sale, so we feel it likely to be Massachusetts National Guard.  This is a large, .58 cal. size cartridge box and is believed to have been used from 1860 through the 1870's.  It will make a very nice addition to someone's Massachusetts Civil War Collection.--$275.

  68. Regimental detail for duties at Camp Granger, July 22, 1861, for the 38th Regiment, New York State Volunteers.  All the camp guards and police for July 22, 1861, are detailed by name in this order.  This hand-written order is signed by R. F. Taylor, Col. commanding the Regiment.--$95.

  70. Very rare Confederate preprinted ordnance document from Guinas Station, VA. dated April 15, 1863.  The document pretains to food and soap for Ramsiur's Brigade at Guinas Station, VA.  Guinas Station, VA. is most famous for being the site where Stonewall Jackson died.--$250.

  71. Very nice condition, original Centennial edition from the "Nashville Tennessean".  One hundred years ago, Battle of Nashville, the end came on Shy's Hill.  This particular paper is dated Sunday, December 6, 1964.  This issue has an in-depth breakdown of the Battle of Nashville along with a full page, color map that I have personally used many times in relic hunting at the Battle of Nashville.  Also found in the same old house, a 50-year-old Kurtz & Allison print of the Battle of Pea Ridge, Arkansas.  The print has aged to an attractive, cream/tan color and will frame nicely for your relic room.--$38 plus shipping for both items.

  72. Original, very nice condition, Confederate States of America newspaper.  This is the Friday, July 12, 1861, issue of "The Daily Journal - Wilmington, North Carolina".  Content is quite varied, including numerous medical miracle drugs and quite a number of "arms" for sale, including Smith & Wesson, Allen & Wheelock, pistols with bowie attached, and Maynard rifles all offered for cash.  With this newspaper, you are reading exactly the same news that a citizen would have been in 1861.--$125.

  73. Very, very rare, 206-year-old newspaper from Georgetown, District of Columbia, and dated October 20, 1813.  This newspaper is titled, "Federal Republican and Commercial Gazette".  The ads in this newspaper are truly eye-opening.  For example, "$50 reward for runaway near Hagerstown, Washington County, Maryland.  A Negro slave who calls himself, Bill, about 5' 6" or 7" high, rather of a lighter complexion than the generality of blacks -- extremely awkward and ungraceful in his address and particularly his walk, and has a wild, suspicious stare when approached."  There are many more ads of this nature pertaining to slave runaways.--$95.

  74. Civil War Discharge and Pay Voucher dated March 12, 1862 for Private Edwin Teal.  Teal served from Jan.1, 1862 until  March 12, 1862.  He was discharged due to disability.  Private Teal was in Co. "B" - 4th New York Cavalry Regiment.  There are two documents.--$45. for both.

  75. Very interesting, hand-written letter from L. W. Webb who was the Official Auditor of the State of Virginia CONFEDERATE Senate written to a friend from the CONFEDERATE "Hall of the Convention" in Alexandria, Virginia, December 12, 1864.  This is actually a quite rare document in that it was written from the Convention Hall and is Civil War dated.--$125.

  76. Very nice condition, $50 Civil War Confederate Loan document.  The document is dated March 10, 1863.  This loan bond was actually issued and is serial number 2537, and the last interest coupon redeemed was January 1, 1865.  This is a very nice piece of Confederate and Civil War history and will frame beautifully.--$150.

  77. Very nice condition group of four Civil War documents pertaining to John Harner.  The documents consist of one military appointment document, two discharges, and one Treasury Dept. document.  John Harner was a member of Co. G, 4th Regiment, US Cavalry for most of the duration of the war.  John Harner, along with his regiment, was at one time posted here at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and also participated in both Battles of Franklin, Tennessee, on November 30, 1864, and Nashville, Tennessee on December 15, 1864.  All four documents remain in good condition, are easily legible, and will frame up beautifully.  For all four documents--$295.

  78. Very nice condition, March 1863, Confederate $50 Bond.  This bond was actually issued and interest coupons redeemed until the war's end, and the next available coupon was July 1865, and of course there was no need to go to the Treasurer's Office at this date as the war was over, and the Confederate Bond was worthless.  This bond will frame up beautifully.--$125.

  79. Quite rare, Civil War date (August 27, 1861), receipt from Providence Tool Company for the purchase of one bar of Zagnall iron weighing 225 pounds.  It is very likely that this iron would be used for the manufacture of muskets and sabers for the American Civil War as Providence Tool Company had contracts for both.--$48.

  80. Official document from the State of Rhode Island dated August 28, 1862, authorizing the purchase of 6 dozen iron hand cuffs to be purchased from Providence Tool Company.  This is a very nice condition, war date, State of Rhode Island document.--$75.

  82. Small "1861" date book entitled Poems of Womanhood.  There are poems in this booklet that every woman should read, such as "She Was a Phantom of Delight" and "The Widow to Her Hourglass", or maybe "Be Gentle, Husband"!!--$75.

  83. Perfect like new condition, rare, out of print, Plates and Buckles of the American Military 1795 - 1874, by Sydney C. Kerksis.  This is one of the best and most sought after of all reference books.--$95.

  84. Quite scarce, original, first edition, "Confederate Edged Weapons" by William A. Albaugh, III.  This is an excellent example with the original dust jacket still intact.--$95.

  85. Excellent condition, January 24, 1862, "Providence Tool Company" document.  This document is a receipt to Providence Tool Company for freight charges for 45 bars of raw iron shipped from New York to Providence Tool Company on the Steamer Ospray.  Providence Tool Company was a manufacturer of both Civil War sabers and muskets.  This raw iron would, no doubt, eventually become Civil War weapons.--$85.

  86. Original 1921 imprint concerning the origin of Memorial Day.  This document was authored by Federal General Norton P. Chipman (who was Col. of the 2nd Ohio Infantry during the Civil War and was later Judge Advocate for the famous Andersonville Prison trial of Commandant Henry Wirz) and has an original "N. P. Chipman" autograph on the reverse of the document.  This is a very cool document and completely pertinent today.--$55.

  87. Original autograph of Brigadier General Ramsey Potts.  General Potts was one of America's most decorated and successful bomber pilots of the 2nd World War.  Interestingly, during his time, as a bomb group commander, the well know actor, James "Jimmy" Stewart, was his Operations Officer.  At age 27, Potts was promoted to full Colonel and assumed command of the 453rd Bomb Group based in Norfolk.  Among Potts' accolades, he was awarded "The Distinguished Service Cross", two Silver Stars, the Legion of Merit medal, three DFCs, the Bronze Star, five Air Medals, and was awarded the British "DFC" for his outstanding courage and heroism.  He retired from the Air Force as a Major General in 1972.  Major General Potts lived to age 89.--$50.

  91. This letter was written from the "Hall of the Convention" in Alexandria, VA on December 12th 1864.  At this "Unionist" convention the Constitution of 1864 was adopted.  This Constitution contains many important laws including: abolishing slavery in the Union controlled parts of Virginia and recognizing the creation of West Virginia.   Members of the Convention proclaimed the new Constitution in effect, rather than submitting it to voters for approval in a popular referendum.  Initially only the areas of northern and eastern Virginia then under Union control recognized the authority of the Constitution of 1864, but after the fall of the Confederacy in May 1865 it became effective for all Virginia and remained in effect until July 1869.  In the above letter, it appears that the writer, L. W. Webb, was trying to run for some type of office or for a seat in the convention.  However, from his comment, "I see very plainly that a Union man stands no show in our department and it is useless to try to do any things, so I have given up all hopes, and will sit down and wait patiently until things do change," and it does look like he was not successful...$65.
