  1. A beautiful albumen photograph of "FEDERAL" MAJOR GENERAL JOSEPH C. WHEELER taken during the Spanish American War.  General Wheeler was, of course, a "CONFEDERATE" MAJOR GENERAL of Cavalry during the Civil War.  General Forrest once stated that he hoped that he was in attendance "TO WATCH THE DEVIL BURN THAT BLUE UNIFORM OFF GENERAL WHEELER" !!!--$75.

  2. 4 1/2 by 7 inch albumin photograph of a standing Federal Master Sergeant taken during the Spanish American War era.  This is a full standing view taken in front of his tent (with many other tents in the background).--$48.

  3. C.D.V. of a young Federal 2nd Lieutenant.  This was purchased out of an Ohio estate sale, and still has the orange 2 cent Revenue Stamp on the reverse.--$48.

  4. Nice clear CDV of Federal Lt. General U. S. Grant.  Crisp definition.--$65.

  5. WE NEED HELP!!!  I recently purchased the collection of an old friend that passed away years ago, and his collection has been stacked in a closet for many years.  This super nice personal effects display no doubt had information with it at an earlier point in time.  That information has long since been separated from the display, and we hope to figure out who this soldier is from hints provided by the artifacts.  First of all, on his hat in the CDV, you can see "Co. G - Cavalry crossed sabers and 13".  On one of the medals you can see inscribed, "Co. G, 13th Illinois, crossed sabers (Cavalry)".  On the same medal is inscribed, "To Capt. J. C. Kennedy from his Comrades of Farragut Post #46 GAR, Denver Colo - 1883".  And on the front side is, "Pine Bluff, Sabine Crossroads, Monticello, and Red River Expedition".  This medal is beautifully inscribed and is very likely actually gold.  In addition, there is a Brigadier General's shoulder strap in the display.  Our suspicion is that this display belonged to Breveted General Joseph Warren Bell who was Commander of the Unit and received a promotion to General right at the end of the war.  There is a ton of mystery surrounding this grouping, and any help unraveling it would be greatly appreciated.  The plate that is inscribed with battles actually does appear to be gold.  At this point, without knowing the complete story, the price for the entire framed grouping is--$495.SOLD*

  6. Nice clear 1/9th plate early war glass ambrotype of a young Ohio Officer.  This image was purchased about 30 years ago from a central Ohio estate sale.  This is a seated pose with his arm resting on a table.  His 2nd Lieut. rank straps are clearly visible.--$135.

  7. Really pretty, artist color tinted, Civil War Era albumin.  The image is of a young lady in an off-shoulder Civil War Era gown.  The gilted brass frame dates the 1800's and is in super nice condition.  The rear of the frame is fabric covered.  One might consider replacing the image in the frame with a family member if one is available.--$95.SOLD*

  8. Fully cased, 1/9th plate "ruby ambrotype" of Jacob Sampson Gibson - 1861.  There are a couple of different candidates for which unit Jacob was in, but a little research will likely unravel it.  It is a nice, clear image in an excellent condition thermoplastic case by "S. Peck & Co. Union Cases".  This will make an excellent addition to someone's Civil War display.--$225.

  9. Very pretty 1/6th plate fully cased tintype of Asa Carter, of the 5th KY INF - CSA.  He enlisted in Oct. of 1861, and was discharged in March of 1865.  Asa fought at Chickamauga and through the entire Atlanta campaign.  After the Atlanta campaign, the 5th Kentucky Infantry was reorganized and became the 5th Kentucky Mounted Infantry.  They harassed Sherman to Savannah, Georgia, and then into North Carolina where they surrendered at Greensboro in April of 1865.  This is a nice, clean image in a "A. P. Critchlow & Co." thermoplastic case.--$695.

  10. Nice condition from life CDV of Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston.  This is an "Anthony - New York" photograph.  The corners are slightly nipped to go in the photo album it was in.  The image has nice clarity.--$175.

  11. Bust view CDV of Confederate General Bushrod Johnson.  This is a nice, clear "from life" image with an "Anthony - New York" backmark.  General Bushrod Johnson was in command of Ft. Donelson until he saw the "bad" hand writing on the wall and decided to clear out.  General Bushrod Johnson was later wounded at Shiloh and eventually surrendered with General Lee at Appomattox.--$225.

  12. Nice, clear, fully cased, 1/9th plate, "Ruby" ambrotype of a young ARMED Confederate soldier.  This image is out of a Middle Tennessee family.   He is wearing a "shell jacket" with shoulder tabs and has a European dirk slid through two buttonholes on the front of his uniform.  I do have some family information but am not certain who this young fellow is.--$550.

  13. Absolutely beautiful condition, 1/9th plate, folding red/brown, thermoplastic Daguerreotype case.  This case is manufacturer marked, "Littlefield Parsons & Co." and is patent dated October 14, 1856, and April 21, 1857.  If you happen to have a very nice 1/9th plate image worthy of a super-nice case, here it is.--$150.

  14. Nice condition, fully cased, 1/6th plate image of a Federal Enlistedman.  The interesting thing about this image is that the soldier has an Infantry cross-belt and buckle belt rig but is holding a Model 1860 light Cavalry saber by his side.  The image is nice and clear but is just a touch darker than what would be optimum.--$350.

  15. Fully cased, large 1/4th plate tintype of a standing Federal soldier at attention wearing his 9-button Enlistedman's frock coat and his kepi.  He is wearing a complete leather Federal accoutrement set with US buckle, brass breast plate on the cross-belt, cartridge box, and has his Springfield musket with bayonet in place standing alongside.  There is a Patriotic back-drop in rear of the soldier.  The image has good clarity but is slightly faded  due to light, but remains a very nice armed Federal Infantry image.--$250.

  16. Fully cased, large 1/4th plate tintype of a standing Federal soldier.  He is wearing a 9-button Enlistedman's frock coat, his kepi, and US belt rig with breast plate and buckle both visible.  He has his musket standing at his side.  The image, unfortunately, has been exposed to light and is now quite faded.  There is writing in the back behind the image which may be the soldier's ID, but we cannot make it out.  Here is a bargain on an "ARMED" cased tintype of a Federal Infantry Enlistedman.--$175.

  17. Civil War Era (1864), engraving of General John Sedgwick.  This was published by Johnson Fry & Co. - New York in 1864.  It remains in nice condition and will frame up beautifully.--$45.

  18. Absolutely beautiful condition Civil War Date "From Life" bust view CDV of Confederate General Robert E. Lee.  This image has crisp, sharp edges, and the image is literally as vivid today as during the Civil War.  A quality addition to any collection.--$295.

  19. Nice clear, "from life" CDV of President Abraham Lincoln.  This one is out of a Civil War photo album and has the corners slightly rounded to go in the album.--$65.

  20. Really pretty, fully cased, 1/9th plate, Ruby ambrotype of an armed Union Private.  The soldier is seated with his .69 cal., Model 1842 musket across his chest and is wearing a US belt rig with the cross belt and breast plate visible.  The image has nice clarity, but unfortunately, has a scratch that runs right between his eyes.  The case is a beautiful Patriotic case with a spread-wing Eagle over an American Flag and the motto "Union Forever".  The case is in excellent condition except for one piece of the rim broken out about one inch long.  I have someone that can restore this break perfectly if so desired.--$295.  (This would be a $650 image and case if it were not for the scratch and small piece broken.)

  21. Nice, crisp, clear, 1/6th plate tintype of a young Federal Sergeant seated wearing a 9-button, Enlistedman's frock coat with his Sergeant stripes clearly visible as well as a nice, clear, 20th Corp "5-pointed Star" on his chest.  The image is cased in a beautiful thermoplastic hard case made by "Littlefield Parsons & Co." manufacturers of "Union Cases" and dated 1857.  This is a museum quality little image and case.--$450.

  22. Very pretty condition fully cased 1/6th plate WELL EQUIPTED Federal Infantryman literally ready to head to the front.  This image is out of an Ohio estate and the young man has his "US" waist belt rig complete with US buckle, cartridge box, over the shoulder sling, and cap box, and is "at attention" with his musket with bayonet at his side.  This is very close to being your absolute classic Federal soldier of the Civil War "ready to go".  It is housed in a super nice thermoplastic hard case made by "Littlefield, Parsins, and Co. - UNION CASES - 1857".  This is a "SMOKING NICE" little image.--$450.

  23. 1/6th plate tintype of a fully equipped, Federal Infantry Enlistedman.  This is a standing view wearing a 9-button frock coat with US beltrig and cartridge box at his side.  His musket with bayonet stands in front of him.  The photograph is taken in front of a patriotic backdrop with tents, canons, and flags.  The image is out of an Ohio estate, and went through a house fire which literally began to melt the case, but the image itself remains in good condition but is a little bit darker than optimum.  This is a nice image, and the soldier is fully equipped, and ready to go to the front.--$195.

  24. Nice clear 1/6th plate tintype of a gentleman out of a North Georgia estate that - according to family lore was a Confederate officer.  He is quite distinguished looking, and comes in a 1/2 patriotic case.  I know the family name, and have a good guess who he likely is.  If you aren't quite ready for the $1,000. Confederate image yet - here is a nice honest Southern image to "fill the spot" until then !!!--$175.SOLD

  25. Very pretty, 1/6th plate tintype of a standing Federal soldier with a Patriotic tent scene in the background.  It is housed in a very ornate black thermoplastic case.  The case is marked, "Littlefield Parsons & Co. Manufacturer of UNION cases, Patented October 14, 1856, and April 21, 1857".  This is a very nice image and in a beautiful case.--$250.

  26. Very pretty condition, fully cased, 1/9th plate glass ambrotype of a seated Federal soldier wearing a 9-button Enlistedman's Federal frock coat.  His kepi is visible on the table beside him.  This image is housed in a beautiful, Patriotic, thermoplastic case with a cannon, a tent, and an American Flag on the outside of the case.  On the rear of the image there is a photographer's card that says, "Halls Gallery of Art - 142nd St. Lawrence".  This is a crisp, clear image in a killer Patriotic case.--$275.

  27. Bust view CDV of an Officer that looks like he could have been related to General Forrest.  It has a "Webster & Bro. Louisville" photographer's mark.  I am not sure if he is US or CS.--$89.

  28. Nice clear Civil War date bust CDV of President Abraham Lincoln.  This image is backmarked, "Henry Barrett - Natik, Mass."--$95.

  29. Quite rare, full length seated CDV of Brevet Brigadier General James Shaw.  General Shaw was commander of the 7th United States Colored Troops as well as several Massachusetts Infantry Regiments.  He joined the regiment November 12, 1863, in Maryland; was post commander at Jacksonville, Florida; commanded brigade in the expedition to Cedar Creek and Camp Melton; participated in the battle on John's Island; was commended for wisdom and bravery in action; returned to Virginia and moved on Richmond; he commanded First Brigade, Third Division, Tenth Army Corps, August 13 to 21, August 25 to September 25, and October 25 to December 4, 1864.

He commanded the sub-district of Victoria and Central District of Texas from February 21 to May 9, 1866, and was mustered out with his regiment November 16, 1866, bearing on his flag, by authority, the names of the battles of Cedar Creek, Baldwin, Kingsland Road, Fuzzel's Mills, White Point, John's Island, Fort Gilmer, Darbytown Road, Armstrong's Mills, Petersburg, and Appomattox Court House.--$150.

  30. Civil War Era 1/6th plate ambrotype of two young ladies we would guess to be about 4 and 10 years of age.  The older girl is wearing a necklace with gold broach and is holding roses.  The younger girl is holding roses as well, and both are wearing 1850 - 1860 off-shoulder style dresses.  These are almost surely Southern Tennessee girls and are on the verge of witnessing the great Civil War.--$25.

  31. Nice, clear, from life CDV of Ms. Jane B. Mitchell.  The photo as dated 1860 and was taken "for Aunt Ruth".  The photographer was "Y. Day - Memphis, Tennessee".  Ms. Mitchell is wearing a very pretty, off-shoulder cut, full skirt dress.  This photo is dated 1860, so this lady's world was about to change.  This looks like a good "sturdy" woman!!!--$35.

  32. Excellent condition, Civil War CDV of General George McClellan and wife.  The image remains complete and in very nice condition.--$69.

  33. Beautiful condition Civil War era "set" of CDVs of George Washington, and wife - Martha Washington.  Might better get these SOON, before it becomes "UNAMERICAN" to have them.  I understand that Thomas Jefferson is under scrutiny these days !!!--$75. For The Pair

  34. Nice crisp CDV of Admiral D. G. Farragut.  The image has a plain back.--$45.

  35. CDV "engraving" of Federal General Winfield Scott.  The image is marked, "L. Prang & Co. - Boston".--$35.

  36. CDV out of a family album from New York.  This young man is of Civil War age, and is IDed as being A. C. Coleman.The image was taken by A. H. Smith of Lima, NY.  Really nice little Civil War era image that can probably be IDed.--$45.

  37. CDV backmarked, "R. Grobe - Photographer, Cor. - Front & State Street - Fremont O."  The image pictures a man and woman with the man seated wearing what appears to be a GAR or UCV medal.  I suspect this photograph was likely taken just after the Civil War during the "Veteran Era".--$38.

  38. Civil War Era CDV of Major General Ambrose E. Burnside.  This is a seated view in full uniform with a rare "Brady - New York" backmark.--$89.

  39. Nice condition, Civil War engraving of the Nations' First Lady, Martha Washington.--$48.

  40. Civil War Era CDV of William Atkins from Florence, Massachusetts.  William was a member of the 19th Regiment Massachusetts Infantry.  The photograph is backmarked, "D. Murelless - No. 3 Pleasant St. Northampton Mass."  The 2 cent revenue stamp remains intact on the reverse.--$65.

  41. Full standing CDV of Walter Vann of New York.  The CDV is backmarked, "De Long and Robio - Photographic Gallery - Cooperstown, N. Y."  This image came out of an album with several soldier images from the same area.  It is very likely this young fellow was a soldier as well.--$38.

  42. Quite rare CDV of Confederate General Robert E. Lee with a San Francisco, California, backmark.  This image is backmarked, "Wise & Prindle Photographers, No. 417 Montgomery Street - San Francisco".  You just don't see many images coming out of California during this era.--$350.

  43. Group of three Civil War era images from the "Juda Family" of central ILL.  One of the images is a C.D.V. of John Juda, who was a member of Co. "C" - 45 Ill. Inf.  The 45 Ill. was one heck of a unit, and was at Fort Henry - Fort Donelson, Shiloh - Corinth - Port Hudson - Raymond - Champion's Hill - Big Black - Vicksburg - Meridan - Kennesaw - Atlanta - Jonesboro, - and Bentonville.  A nice little grouping for CHEAP !!!--$95. for all

  44. Civil War Era, leather bound CDV photo album.  This album will hold 38 CDV's.  It remains in good, complete condition, but the leather is separating some across the leather back strap.  The interior remains in nice condition, and both brass clasps remain intact.  This would be excellent to hold and display your Civil War CDV's in.--$79.

  45. Nice condition,"from life" bust view of "J. M. Baruard"??  This image was taken by Case & Getchell, Boston, Massachusetts.  Most of the images in the album where this one came were members of the 4th Massachusetts Cavalry. We were not able to locate him, but we were unsure of the correct spelling of his name.  If anyone can locate him, please send me what Company and Regiment.--$75.SOLD*

  46. Bust view CDV of Jackson Kilpatrick.  The image is backmarked, "S. H. Colesworthy - 92 Exchange St. Portland ME".  We believe Jackson to have been in the 28th Regiment Pennsylvania Infantry.--$95.

  47. Nice clear "from life" CDV of Lt. J. H. Lathrop of the 4th Massachusetts Cavalry.  This photo was taken by "Mrs. Stuart - 258 Washington Street - Boston".  I don't think I have ever seen a Civil War Era CDV with the marking "Hair Jewelry made to order".--$125.

  51. Full standing view of Lt. C. C. Vance, Co. C, 9th Regiment Ohio Volunteer Cavalry.  It appears this Federal Cavalry unit spent a good deal of time in East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.  Later in the war, the 9th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry participated with General Sherman in the "March to the Sea" and was with the Federal Army for the surrender in Greensboro, North Carolina.--$175.

  52. Nice, clear, full-standing pose of Col. Charles Griswold of the 56th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry.  Col. Griswold was KIA during the Battle of the Wilderness.  He was shot in the neck while rallying his troops.  Col. Griswold is buried in Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts.--$195.

  54. Quite rare "gem size" tintype of Homer E. Stone of Co. B, 4th Massachusetts Cavalry.  He enlisted 1-27-1864 and was fatally wounded at Broadway Landing, Virginia, on July 24, 1864.  The poor guy was only in service a few months.--$125.

  56. 1/6th plate tintype of a seated Federal soldier.  He is wearing a 4-button sack coat and a Patriotic scene can be seen behind him.  This image was purchased years ago from a Central Ohio estate sale, so it is very likely that he is an Ohio Volunteer Infantry soldier.  The image remains clear, but is slightly darker than perfect.--$150.

  57. Quite rare bust view CDV image of Confederate General Sterling Price.  General Price served with distinction in numerous Trans-Mississippi Battles.  This image has a crisp "Anthony of New York" backmark.--$275.

  58. Very nice cased pair of Civil War 1/9th plate images.  One image is an ambrotype of a young, Federal Infantry soldier wearing 9-button, Federal Enlistedman's frock coat.  The second image is an older gentleman that we think to likely be his father.  The images were purchased years ago from a Central Ohio estate sale.  Case and both images--$250.

  59. Drop-dead beautiful condition, 1/9th plate, molded thermoplastic image case.  This case has the very ornate outer cover with the Eagle perched atop of the Constitution and surrounded by stars with the American Shield above.  It is dated 1857 and is maker marked, "Littlefield, Parsons, & Co. - Manufacturers of Daguerreotype Cases".  This will be perfect if you have a super nice 1/9th plate image needing a case.--$195.

  60. Extremely rare, large 1/4th plate, fully cased, outdoor multi-subject ambrotype.  In this image, you can see eight adults, one horse and bridle, and two children.  Two of the adults appear to have on military coats, and four of the adults have on tall, "stove pipe" hats.  There are buildings and a fence in the background.  This is a very cool image considering the number of subjects being outside and containing a horse in harness.--$550.

  61. Quite rare, 1/6th plate, fully cased tintype of a New York Zouave wearing his red cap with tassel.  He is also wearing a 4-button Union sack coat.  The image is cased in a scarce, molded thermoplastic "S. Peck & Co." improved "Union" case with an intricate military motif.  The image is somewhat dark but you can clearly see the subject.  The case is in very nice condition except does have one piece approximately 1 1/2 inch missing along one edge.  I do have a contact for restoring this break if wanted.  This is both an image and a case that you rarely see.--$395.

  62. Nice clear 1/6th plate fully cased tintype of a Federal soldier wearing his kepi and also his Federal enlistedman's 9-button frock coat.  The image is cased in a Patented "Union" red-brown Thermoplastic case.--$350.

  67. Full standing view CDV of a Federal officer wearing a double breasted Federal Officer frock coat.  He has his kepi in his hand with an embroided "infantry bugle", and has a regimental "6" in the hat pin loop.  This is a real nice image !!--$95.

  68. Fully cased, 1/6th plate tintype of a Union Corporal.  He is wearing an enlisted man's blue frock coat with his two Corporal Stripes visible.  This is a seated pose wearing his kepi, and his Smith and Wesson .22 cal. revolver is visible in his vest pocket.  The clear glass outside cover has an old crack across it.  It would be a very simple matter to replace the piece of glass.--$275.

  69. Absolutely beautiful 1/6th plate tintype of two seated Federal soldiers, both wearing Infantry frock coats and regulation blue trousers.  One of the men has his kepi resting in his lap.  This image remains crystal clear and is housed in an extremely ornate patriotic black gutta percha case.  The case has an Eagle in the center with wings outspread by an American Flag and also a shield and a cannon with cannon balls.  This style patriotic case is very rare to find.--$395.

McConnell.  This is a bust view, seated waist up, showing his frock coat, shoulder straps, and kepi with French Horn Infantry hat insignia.  Together with excellent military photograph of Lt. McConnell, there is additionally a fully cased 1/9th plate ambrotype of Lt. McConnell in civilian clothing.  In addition to these pictures is a half-cased ambrotype of Lt. McConnell in civilian clothing with his wife.  Also, there is a 1/6th plate ambrotype of Lt. McConnell's mother in a half-case.  In addition, there is a 1/9th plate ambrotype of a baby which we assume to be his child.  The 99th Ohio served all through Tennessee being at Stones River, Chickamauga, the drive toward Atlanta, and the Battles of Franklin and Nashville.  I purchased this group directly out of the family just days ago.--$495. for the entire five photograph estate.

  74. Tiny folding silver "book" that has two gem size images inside.  I believe both images to be of Civil War Generals, and although they have a familiar look, I cannot place their name.  A little help would sure be appreciated.  The small case itself appears to be solid silver.--$195.

  75. 1usinfantryman.jpg (27856 bytes)1/6th Plate tintype of seated Union Infantryman.  He is wearing a 9-button Federal enlistedman's frock coat...coat is open showing his military vest beneath ...this photo is in nice condition and quite clear -it is unfortunately a little bit dark however. $125.

  77. Civil War Era CDV (Carte De Viste) of General George B. McClellan and wife.  This is a "from life" photo.--$59.

  78. Quite rare "BRADY" image of Gen. Tom Thumb wedding.  The image remains in beautiful condition and is dated "1863".  I have in the past seen this "Brady" image priced at $150. and more.--$125.

  79. Nice condition CDV of Confederate General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard.  This image is backmarked, "E. & H.T. Anthony - New York".--$195.SOLD

  80. Very odd Civil War Era CDV of General William Sherman.  In this CDV, the photographer took a picture of a Sherman image with the matting around the picture.  This CDV is actually a war date, published "picture of a picture".--$65.

  85. Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful, matted and framed portrait of Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest.  This framed print overall measures 30 inches by 36 inches and is framed using acid-free matting and light filtering glass.  The framing job alone on this print costs almost $400.  Here is a super deal, BUT, you will need to pick it up here, because it is some-kinda big.  The print itself was published in 1973 by the SCV.--$350.

  86. Very nice condition, 6 1/2 inch by 4 1/4 inch albumin photograph of James H. Clanton taken by Moyston of Memphis, Tennessee.  On the reverse of the photograph, in very old period writing is, "James H. (Holt) Clanton - Lawyer - CSA Soldier - January 8, 1827 - September 27, 1871 - Killed in a gun fight on the street of the Lamar House Hotel - Knoxville, Tennessee, by a Yankee - A. Clanton."  We are unsure which James H. Clanton it is in the records as there are about three that served.  I have no doubt that with some diligent research this mystery can be solved and likely with additional information.--$48.SOLD
