   Model
1855 Civil War leather cartridge box complete with over the shoulder
sling, cartridge box, and tins inside. The leather remains stable
and pliable and only needs a couple plates to be a first class Federal
infantry rig. Not too many come along anymore with the over the
shoulder sling intact.--$695.SOLD
  Relic
condition 58 cal. Model 1855 leather Civil War cartridge box. The
box was found in the attic of an old home and about all that you can say
for it is that it's the "real deal" and cheap.--$75.SOLD
 3
section collapsable cup of the type carried by many soldiers in the
Civil War.--$48.SOLD
Hand
stitched brown leather Confederate side knife sheath. I bought the
belt rig years ago and the family recently found the side knife
scabbard. This will fit a side knife up to a 6 inch blade and 1
1/8th inch wide blade at the hilt.--$195.SOLD
Mid-1800s
era whiskey flask with pewter drinking cup base. These were very
popular with both Union and Confederate officers. Every camp
display needs one of these.--$48.SOLD
 Mid
1800s era straight razor and case. These were commonly carried by
Civil War soldiers and we often dig them up in Civil War
campsites.--$65.
Excellent
condition set of original Civil War era drumsticks. If you have a
nice Civil War drum - These would compliment it perfectly.--$115.
 Non-Excavated
large size powder flask of the type carried from home to war by many
Confederates when the Civil War first broke out. This flask is in
very nice condition with a deep, thick, never cleaned aged brown
patina. This would be great displayed with your Civil War era
"double barrel" or "Country Rifle".--$150.SOLD
Civil
War era officer's 4-section telescope complete with leather covering and
also lens cap intact.--$150.SOLD
    Very
rare to find Confederate carried soldier's testament. The bible is
in nice solid condition with the prettiest old brown ink ID that you
could ever hope to see. The testament is an 1851 edition from the
"American Bible Society". It was carried by
"George Deatherage" who was a member of the "34th Militia
- Virginia Volunteer Infantry". According to 1850 census
records George lived in Rappahannock, VA. This would be a fine
addition to any Confederate relic collection.--$395.SOLD
  Really
nice condition small leather Union percussion cap box complete with
brass finial, closure tab, both belt loops, vent pick, full wool, and
still has caps inside. No collection is complete without a nice
Civil War percussion cap box.--$195.
   Estate
belonging to {H. C. Oliver - Co. D - 13th Reg. - Brooklyn, NY.}
The estate consists of H. C. Oliver's hardpack knapsack and also his
1864 date Ames musician's sword and scabbard. The knapsack is well
marked with his name and so forth inside. Some of the straps are
present and some are broken. It needs to be treated and stuffed
and will display well. The sword and scabbard are in nice
condition and marked "Ames Mfg. Co. - 1864". I have
found H. C. Oliver -- but listed in the cavalry - I would suspect that
he was in the band somewhere along the way. This grouping is going
to look great in display.--$795. for both itemsSOLD
    Exceptionally
pretty condition 58 cal. 1864 Federal cartridge box complete with sling
and cartridge tins. The leather on both the box and the sling is
pliable enough to wear even today. The cartridge box is marked
"Watertown Arsenal - U.S. - 1864". If you have been
wanting to add a nice cartridge box with original sling to your
collection - This one is a dandy.--$950.
         I
recently purchased this massive, massive Ohio estate directly from the
family and have a letter from the family to accompany the estate.
In over 35 years in the Civil War business, this is one of the most
spectacular family groupings to ever come my way. The estate is
from 2 brothers and a cousin and only 1 of the 3 survived the Civil
War. The estate includes 150 letters from the surviving brother
{John L. Hebron} home to his family. The letters have all been
nicely transcribed into a 350 page volume {with lots of additional
information and pictures}. There are 4 hard images - Two of the
surviving brother that wrote the letters and one each of the brother and
cousin that did not survive the war. There are also pictures of
the cousin's tombstone at Vicksburg. There is a "Dog
Tag" made from a large cent for "J. L. Hebron" and a nice
description in one of the letters of making it while at Chattanooga,
TN. Also, John Hebron's bible and soldier's discharge is in the
grouping. Also, the saber that belonged to the other brother is in
the estate. He was a member of the 13th Ohio Cavalry and died at
City Point, VA. and is buried there. Also, at the end of the war
John Hebron brought home an April 15th -black trimmed - Lincoln Death
newspaper and, that too, is included. I honestly cannot begin to
do justice to this fantastic estate of material - never on the market -
and directly out of the family.--$12,000.
 Very
attractive Model 1858 "smooth type" regulation canteen with
original butternut cover still intact. This is one of the first
items every Civil War collection needs.--$295.
 Excellent
condition non-excavated set of small size "crossed cannons"
die stamped brass federal artillery hat pin. All four attachment
loops remain intact and would be perfect to compliment your artillery
collection.--$275.
 Small
leather Union percussion cap box. The soldier shortened the
outside flap for easier opening. It still has full wool - the
original pick - and caps still inside which you seldom see--$135.
Nice
condition maroon Civil War officer's sash out of a Bristol, VA. estate
and quite likely C.S. worn. This nice relic would display
beautifully on it's own or would make an officer's frock coat stand
tall.--$795.SOLD
 Very
nice condition set of original Federal enlistedman's brass shoulder
epaulets. If you have either a Federal cavalry or artillery shell
jacket these will definitely take it to the next level or they look
great just displayed on their own.--$295.
  Perfect
condition 1840 era militia style tin drum canteen. This one is a
relatively small size being a little over 4 inches in diameter and 2
inches in width with the early flared spout. Many of these type
canteens were carried over and used by Confederates during the Civil War
and the Confederate manufactured tin drum canteens were patterned after
these earlier style canteens. This is a little beauty.--$375.
 Beautiful
3 feet by 5 feet 100 % nylon and totally sewn - including the stars - 50
star American flag. This is a quality flag made for outdoor
use.--$65.
Group
of three unused Union patriotic letter covers. One is a nice 6th
Massachusetts Regimental, and one has a Negro slave motif. All
three are in excellent condition.--$75. for all three.
 
Quite rare to find Mexican War era sheet music. This is
"Smith's March" composed and dedicated to Gen. Persifor F.
Smith "Hero of Contreras." It is by J. T. Martin and
published by Miller and Beacham, Baltimore. The music is dated
1848. You will see 20 or more pieces of Civil War related sheet
music for every one Mexican War.--$125.
 Nice
condition non-excavated Union "French Horn" Infantry
enlistedman's hat insignia. It maintains perfect form and still
has one of the two attaching loops remaining intact on the
reverse.--$85.
-
 Nice
condition original Civil War sheet music. It is
entitled, "Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!-The Prisoner's
Hope" and was published by Root and Cady of Chicago,
Ill. This sheet music has a very ornate and beautiful
outside cover.--$79.
-
Assorted
type 69 cal. bullet extractors. These make a very nice
yet inexpensive, compliment to your Model 1816 or Model
1842-69 cal. musket.--$45. each.
-
    Very
nice condition G.A.R. medal and ribbon on original
manufacturer's card. This ribbon and medal is for the
1935 Departmental Reunion at Bloomington, Ill. This is
a fairly rare one to get because this was the 69th Annual
Dept. of Ill. encampment, and most old Veterans were gone by
then. The medal is on the original card marked
"Made by Schwaab Stamp & Seal Co. Milwaukee,
Wis." In the past 5 to 10 years, these have
become much more popular and harder to get.--$95.
-
 
Nice condition Civil War Union revolver cartridge box.
This box has pliable leather with closure tab and both belt
loops intact. It has a "Gaylord-Chicopee,
Mass." maker's mark on the reverse.--$275.
-
Historical
trivia game manufactured by Peter G. Thomson-Cincinnati,
Ohio in 1884. This game belonged to Col. J. B. McCown

the personal collection of Dr. Francis Lord.--$195.
-

1858 smooth type Union canteen. The canteen has portions
(approximately 70%) of the original butternut cover. It
was recently purchased out of a central Ohio estate sale and
shows clear evidence of actual use.--$250.

Civil War decor.--$55.

condition Civil War era soldered seam bread tin. This is
a large 11" tin with 12 sides. This size and style

accent a room with Civil War decor.--$65.
