Confederate Flag on one side and four
Confederate soldiers on the reverse. The
lighter has the winding key on the side with
the Confederate Flag. It still works

attractive, Model 1855, Federal cartridge box,
complete with the over-the-shoulder sling,
both plates, and original cartridge tins still

Extremely
rare, Confederate carbine cartridge box
created by hand altering a standard Model 1855

easy to see the Southern alterations that were
made in order to convert the cartridge box
from a standard .58 cal. musket cartridge box
to a much smaller carbine cartridge box with
the wooden block. This is out of the
local area, and the family had relatives that
served in the 8th and 13th Tennessee Volunteer
Cavalry CSA. This will make an excellent
addition to someone's Confederate Cavalry
display.--$850.

30 years or so. This is a mighty fine
artifact.--$850.SOLD

This
is one of the most drop-dead beautiful "Batty
Peace Flasks" that I have seen in a long time.

nice Mississippi rifle, this flask would be
fantastic hanging with it. It is about
as nice as you are going to see.--$595.SOLD

battle.--$175.

Really
pretty, non-excavated set of crossed sabers
stamped brass hat insignia. Although
this is a Federal style hat insignia, it came
out of a local estate that had ancestors in
the 8th and 13th Tennessee Cavalry. The
pin has very nice patina, and three of the
four attaching loops are intact on the
reverse. The pin shows clear evidence of

campaigns gone by. This pin would be
fine displayed alone or could easily be put
back on a Kepi or a Hardee hat.--$375.

Beautiful
condition non-excavated regulation U.S.
cavalry "hi-port" bit. This bit has a
smooth, chocolate brown patina and could

Federal Cavalry bit, this one should fit the
bill.--$225

Excellent
condition, non-excavated, brass cased,
4-blade, Civil War Era bleeder. This

just fine.--$175.

condition, Model 1864, .58 cal., Federal
cartridge box. This cartridge box has
the embossed US oval on the flap, but during

Wilkinson Maker - Springfield Mass."
This cartridge box has no flaking at all and
remains quite pliable with both iron roller
buckles intact as well as both belt loops, the
leather closure tab, and both cartridge tins
intact inside. This is a really nice
Civil War Federal cartridge box.--$595.
-

Model
1858, "tin spout", smooth type canteen out of
a north Georgia estate. The canteen is
overall quite crude and is either St. Louis
Arsenal production or a Confederate local.

quite possibly Confederate
manufactured.--$250.
-

Beautiful
condition, large size, 3-blade, cased bleeder.
This bleeder is maker marked, "Thomas Turner &
Co. - Sheffield". It remains 100%
complete and is literally still sharp as a
razor. This was a widely used medical
device during the Civil War, and every
collection should have an example.--$125.
-


Very
rare to find, original CASED Civil War Era
spring-loaded fleam. This type fleam (or
bleeder) was activated by "cocking" the blade
and then placing it against the area that

The third picture demonstrates the blade
piercing paper that it was placed against.
It has been a couple of years since I had a
medical fleam in its original folding
case.--$195.

Rich,
aged, bronze/brown patina on this 1840's era

appearance.--$295.

style US Flag ribbon.--$95.
-

Beautiful
condition non-excavated lead filled "Droop
Wing Eagle" bridle rosette. During the
1960s and early 1970s these were thought to be
Confederate because of the "Droop Wing Eagle",
and because they were usually found in
Confederate sites. It turns out that
they are quite rare early pre-Civil War
"Dragoon" bridle and stirrup rosettes, and
carried over by Confederates from the earlier
era as was often the case. This example
is nothing less than beautiful.--$450.
-
Excellent
condition, Civil War folding leather wallet
out of a central Alabama estate. The
wallet contains three Civil War date Alabama
notes and has sewn inside an 1837 large cent
and an 1858 English Farthing. This
wallet and Confederate currency displays very
nicely.--$150.
-


Quite
rare "Maid Of Honor" ribbon and pin for the
1924 Reunion of the "SCV" -(Eastern Division)
in Memphis, Tennessee. When this ribbon
came out of the Memphis estate, there was a
Civil War/1800's Era hard image of a young
lady with the ribbon. We have learned
that there was more than one Maid of Honor at
this reunion, and it is quite possible that
this young lady could be one of them. It
is a very attractive display and would be a
nice addition to any Civil War collection,
especially one with Memphis ties.--$250. for
both the ribbon and image.

Garrett
"Sea Hunter" underwater metal detector.
This is a very popular unit in the "water
hunting" community. I am selling this
machine to help settle an estate, and I know
for sure that the machine was working
correctly when it was put away in storage
about a year ago. The Garrett "Sea
Hunter" sells new for something in the range
of $700. to $750. This guy can be yours
for the super bargain price of $250. in order
to get the estate settled.

original canteen.--$375.

condition, Civil War Era tin whiskey flask

nice condition GOLDEN SABER II TESORO METAL
DETECTOR complete with stock 8 inch coil and
new high quality set of headphones.
Tesoro is well known for producing excellent
quality, and long lasting hobby metal
detectors. The Golden Saber II is
basically an "On And Hunt" machine. It
is ideal for both coin hunting, and Civil War
Relic hunting. My friend purchased this
one a while back, and his health failed, and

used once or not. There is a second
elliptical shaped coil that comes with the
detector. Tesoro detectors are
famous for having really good discrimination,
and this one has crisp tone and very good
depth. My friend paid $429. for the
detector, and $89. for the headset for a total
of $518. plus shp/ins. Your price is
$295. plus shp, and has new batteries in it -

Head Phones. This detector lists with
these head phones for right at $1,000.
Your cost.--$495.SOLD

condition, private purchase, cast brass, Civil
War Era Cavalry spur. These were sold by

Super
rare, original die - counter die - and cut out
die for the scarcest Sheridan Cavalry Corps
badge. These items have been in an old
New England collection for many, many years.
They were originally purchased from
Bannermann's Island, and I was able to
purchase them as part of settling the estate.
I really don't have a clue how to price this,
as in over 50 years - I have never seen one of
these offered for sale. SO -- I am just
going to take a guess, and this price very
well may be less than 50% of this group's
actual value.--$1,500.

Beautiful
example of Confederate "Prisoner of War" art.
This was recently brought in by a local
family, and according to family hand-me-down
information, was carved by an ancestor while
in a northern prison camp. This artifact
started out as one block of wood, and the
round balls were carefully carved from the
solid wood interior of the artifact. It
is hard to imagine the countless hours of
meticulous carving it took to create the
artifact. This fine artistic "Prisoner
of War" artifact would be an excellent
addition to any Civil War Collection no matter
how advanced.--$275.

certain situations, this instrument was also
used for recovering bullets. I wouldn't
want to be on the receiving end of that use
either!!!--$79.

cavity cast brass "scissor type" bullet mold
for the "Country Rifle or Picket Bullet".

from home that many Confederates left home for
