 Just
brought in - Relic condition 69 cal. ammunition cartridge box.
Many Confederates carried 69 cal. muskets when in this area and this one
is straight out of the local area. It's the box only with no plate
or tins {If Confederate carried I'm sure the plate was the first thing
to go !!} There are small pieces of the crossbelt still under the
loops on the back. This is a great relic for the money.--$195.
Rare
to find - An excellent condition set of original 69 cal. cartridge
tins. It has been ages since I've seen a set of these for
sale.--$125.
 Really
neat 1850 era powder horn. The brass measuring device on this horn
was taken from a brass powder flask and adapted to the horn. Many
Confederates left home at the beginning of the Civil War with flasks of
this type.--$95.SOLD
Nice
condition non-excavated smooth type Model 1858 federal canteen.
Every Civil War collection needs a pretty canteen.--$195.
 Really
pretty "Hi-Port" regulation U.S. cavalry bit found in a barn
near Chickamauga. The bit is 100% complete with both rosettes,
cross bar, and both rings. You could still use this cavalry bit
today.--$195.
Nice
condition mid-1800s leather shot flask of the type commonly carried by
hunters at the time of the outbreak of the Civil War. Some
Southerners carried these off to war until their shotguns and squirrel
rifles were replaced by regular military rifles.--$48.
Excellent
condition 1840 - 1850 era large musket size pewter powder flask.
This was the exact type flask carried by young Southerners from home off
to war when the Civil War first started in 1861. No Civil War
collection is complete without a couple powder flasks.--$85.
Large
size - {13 inch} - 1840 to 1850 era powder horn. It has a rich,
aged patina and would add a classy touch to your display. Many
Confederates left home in 1861 carrying one of these.--$95.
Full
length Civil War maroon officer's sash. This came out of a
Chattanooga,TN. estate and could have seen C.S. service. The color
remains good and strong, but the sash does show wear and some mothing in
areas. Still displays on a uniform nicely.--$595.SOLD
 Quite
rare to find in nice condition - Large size - completely leather covered
- "Dixon - Sheffield" powder flask. The flask isn't
dented and has 100% leather cover intact.--$195.SOLD
  Original
1840 era powder horn with all sorts of things cut into it with a
pinknife. The horn is a great display piece but has had some
restoration work done on the wooden end. Also, some of the scene
on it appears to have been recently freshened up. Interestingly,
it's still full of Civil War era black powder. This is a nice
little 1840 era horn priced at 50% off due to having had some work done
on it.--$125.SOLD
 Solid
cast brass double cavity bullet mold for a musket ball and an
elongated "Picket or Country Rifle" style
projectile. We only dig bullets of this type from Confederate
sites. This would be a real nice addition to someone's Confederate
display.--$175.
Nice
condition Civil War gilt officer's sword knot. This little item
takes a pretty officer's sword to whole different level and have become
really hard to find when you need one.--$275.SOLD
Very
attractive Civil War era brass powder flask of the type carried to the
Civil War in 1861 by many Confederates. This is an inexpensive
relic that adds a classy look to your collection.--$95.
Beautiful
1850s era powder horn typical of the type carried off to the War in 1861
by many Confederates. Excellent classy look and eye appeal.--$95.
Extremely
rare Federal Naval artillery lanyard. This exact lanyard is going
to be pictured in a reference book coming out this next year. It's
in very, very nice condition.--$425.SOLD
  Nice
pliable small leather Union percussion cap box. Closure tab, both
belt loops, inner flap, and brass finial - all intact.--$150.
    Very
nice condition Confederate manufacture brown leather - lead finial
percussion cap box. This box is fresh out of a central North
Carolina estate and is an excellent example of a classic C.S. cap
box.--$1,295.SOLD
  Nice
condition carbine sling - over the shoulder - rig that would be a
wonderful accent to your Civil War carbine. All it needs is a snap
swivel and you'd be ready to go. The rig originally came from
Bannermann and they had cut the brass off as they did on many.
Original brass has been put back on but the sling is just a little
shorter than "as issued" due to having the original buckle and tip cut
off. The leather is very pliable and not flaking at all.
UPDATE -- I just located a snap swivel and it's now complete and
ready to put with a nice carbine!!!--$695.
Nice
condition original Civil War era "Rosewood" fife. You
gotta have a fife in your collection - Some things are just
required.--$125.
   Beautiful
hand carved, and IDed {"GAR" and "Mason"}
mirror and frame. The family brought this in yesterday and it's
really, really nice. The mirror belonged to John H. Blount of
McKean, PA. There is an old note on the mirror as well as a
current note from the family.--$195.
 Perfect
condition stamped brass Federal infantry hat pin. Both attaching
loops remain intact.--$95.
 Beautiful
condition "Southern Cross of Honor". This one was made
by "Whitehead and Hoag" and has a nice uncleaned rich, aged
patina.--$350.

wool cover. The canteen is maker marked on the spout and has
original stopper and chain still intact.--$275.SOLD
 Blacksmith
made single cavity bullet mold for a 50 cal. "Country Rifle"
type bullet. This came out of a North Carolina estate along with
several other Southern relics including a lead finial cap box. I
have recovered this exact type bullet from Confederate camps in this
area.--$195.
   58
caliber leather federal cartridge box complete with original cartridge
tins inside. The box is maker marked "C. S. Storms-
Maker". It is in stable condition but does have some age
cracks and some small pieces flaked out of the inner flap. The box
isn't mint but is a good example that displays well and priced
right.--$250.
Original
folding musket tool for your Civil War musket. This would be a
nice compliment to display with your musket.--$75.
Typical
set of Civil War era dice like you would find in many soldier's
knapsack.--$45.
    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.
 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.
  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.SOLD
 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
who commanded the 63rd Ill Vol. Infantry. It is out of
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 tin ware collection or perfect to accent a room with
Civil War decor.--$55.
-
Excellent
condition Civil War era soldered seam bread tin. This is
a large 11" tin with 12 sides. This size and style
is a bit uncommon and hard to find. It would be a fine
addition to a Civil War tin ware collection or perfect to
accent a room with Civil War decor.--$65.
