Rebellion. This is the

I can guarantee from personal experience
that there are some GREAT Relic Hunting
spots hidden within these volumes !!--$65.
for all three-SOLD



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.


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

scarce New York document in very nice
framable condition.--$95.
Civil
War date, August 9, 1861, receipt from
Providence Tool Company for 3 bundles of iron
weighing 353 pounds. It is very likely

bayonets. Providence Tool Company itself
produced both muskets and sabers during the
Civil War.--$45.


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

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.

detail for duties at Camp Granger, July 22,

order is signed by R. F. Taylor, Col.

In
43 years, I can count on one hand the number

example remains in very nice condition and
is for Co. B, 1st Pennsylvania Light
Artillery. The election was to be held
on the 8th day of November, being the
Tuesday next after the 1st Monday of
November in the year 1864. This
artifact is especially relevant in this
current year of election.--$275.

attractive, $500 Confederate States of
America Loan Bond, dated February 20, 1863.

11125 and pictures a Confederate on Pickett,
sitting by a fire. It will frame up

rare Confederate preprinted ordnance
document from Guinas Station, VA. dated

end came on Shy's Hill. This
particular paper is dated Sunday, December

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.








Original,
very nice condition, Confederate States of
America newspaper. This is the Friday,
July 12, 1861, issue of "The Daily Journal -

Wheelock, pistols with bowie attached, and
Maynard rifles all offered for cash.

the same news that a citizen would have been
in 1861.--$125.


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.


Civil
War Discharge and Pay Voucher dated March
12, 1862 for Private Edwin Teal. Teal
served from Jan.1, 1862 until March

Webb who was the Official Auditor of the

to a friend from the CONFEDERATE "Hall of
the Convention" in Alexandria, Virginia,

quite rare document in that it was written
from the Convention Hall and is Civil War
dated.--$125.




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.




Very
nice condition group of four Civil War
documents pertaining to John Harner.

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.



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.
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.



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,

Excellent
condition, September 17, 1862, purchase
document with ornate heading for Providence
Tool Company to purchase one buff calf skin
from James Davis, manufacturer of leather
belting. This buff leather was likely
to be used in the manufacture of musket
slings and/or Federal waist belt
assemblies.--$75.

freight charges for 45 bars of raw iron

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.


Original

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

the reverse of the document. This is a
very cool document and completely pertinent
today.--$55.

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

based in Norfolk. Among Potts'

Service Cross", two Silver Stars, the Legion
of Merit medal, three DFCs, the Bronze Star,

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.
