Extremely
rare, Model 1858, smooth type canteen with
complete butternut cover, complete linen
sling, and the remnants of a water filtering
system. I actually can't remember ever
having a standard issue Federal canteen with
the Civil War water filtration system still
intact with it. It appears that the
rubber hose is about the only thing missing.
A good many years ago, Nita & I recovered a
pewter water filter dropped and left by one of
the springs on top of the Cumberland Plateau.
This is without question quite a
rarity.(CW)--$650.
-

Very
nice condition, Civil War Era, "baked hard
rubber" snuff box. Every camp scene
display should include a snuff box. It
is my understanding that the last thing you
want to happen is for your snuff to
"swarm".--$75.

condition, original, Regimental size, 1855 to
Civil War Era drum. This drum measures

in action July 3, 1863. The following

knapsack, his eating utensil, two musket worms

with his name on the inside, an original tin
of musket caps, his shaving razor and case,

-


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.SOLD

die-stamped brass, Federal Infantry bugle
hatpin. This pin has a nice aged patina

brass "US" rosettes remain intact as issued.

Civil War Cavalry display.--$195. SOLD
-



Excellent
condition, small leather Federal percussion
cap pouch. This cap pouch remains sturdy
and pliable with both belt loops, closure tab,
and some of the original wool all remaining
intact. Every Civil War collection
should have a nice cap box.--$225. SOLD

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.

War Era, leather shot flask with the brass
measuring device still intact. I have
excavated a number of the brass measuring
devices from 1861 - 1862 Confederate camp
sites.--$65.SOLD

many young Confederates left home carrying as
they headed off to the Civil War in
1861.--$65.
-
Beautiful
condition, non-excavated, Federal cast-brass,
rooster neck Cavalry spur. This spur
turned up in an estate here at Stones River
and was likely a left-over battlefield pick-up
from the Battle of Stones River. Very
interestingly, the rowel on this spur, which
is absolutely untouched since the Civil War,
is in reality a clock gear. This spur
has an absolutely gorgeous, never cleaned,
bronze/brown, aged patina tip to tip and even
still has the original leather strap with
it.--$125.
-


Quite
rare, original, ivory pocket diary. The
small ivory tablets were carried in the
soldier's pocket where he would keep notes to
later be transcribed into his regular paper
diary. It is quite rare to find one of
these that remains complete, perfect, and
undamaged. This is an excellent
example.--$195.
-

Civil
War Era, well crafted, tiny "ladies" snuff
box. Every "lady" should have her own

display.--$75.SOLD

nice condition, original Model 1858,
regulation issue, smooth side, Federal

tabs intact underneath each.--$325. for the
pair.
-

Attic
condition, 9-ring, Model 1858, Federal
bullseye canteen. This canteen is out of
the local Middle Tennessee area and was quite
likely Confederate carried. The pewter
spout has some faint writing, but we are
unable to make out what it says. The
Civil War Era leather sling still remains with
the canteen.--$195.SOLD
-
Beautiful
condition, stamped brass, gold and silver
gilted, "GAR" hat wreath. This hat pin

Small
leather Federal percussion cap pouch.
This pouch has both belt loops, closure tab,
brass finial, and inner flap all remaining
intact. The box is marked on the inside

present on the inside.--$195.

Civil War era civilian leather horse bridle of
the exact type often taken from home by young
Confederates leaving their homes and

-

Militia
style, tin drum canteen, 5 inches in diameter,
and 1 1/2 inches in width. The canteen
has a single belt loop attachment on the

whiskey rather than water. This is out
of a deep South estate and was very likely
Confederate carried.--$295.
-



Very
nice condition, original Model 1855, Federal
.58 cal., leather cartridge box. The box

well as the tin spout and cork stopper.
There appears to be some soldier initials in
old brown ink on the linen sling.--$795.
-

8
inch, Civil War Era, leather shot flask with a
"hanging game" scene impressed. These
leather shot flasks were very common carrying
buck shot for game hunting prior to and during
the Civil War. Early in the Civil War,
many young Confederates left home carrying the
family fowling rifle along with the brass
powder flask and leather shot flask.
This is an inexpensive item that displays much
nicer than it costs.--$55.SOLD
-


Very
nice condition, 1840 - 1860 era, 8 inch brass

Quite
rare, non-excavated, MAKER MARKED, Hi-Port
Federal Cavalry bit with both brass US
rosettes intact. The bit is maker
marked, "Jos. Baldwin - Newark". This is

General David Stanley's Federal Cavalry while
stationed here at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in
1863. The bottom cross bar has been
intentionally removed as was often
done.--$195.SOLD
-
Just
in - Really nice dark brown leather "Rope
Braid" saber knot. This is out of a
local Southern estate, and was at one time on
an ancestor's "Dog River" Confederate Cavalry
saber. I'll bet that somewhere out there
is a nice "Dog River", or "Memphis Novelty
Works", or "Kenansville saber" just begging to
have this beautiful knot on it. --$375.SOLD
-


Quite
rare and very attractive, 8 inch, "basket
weave", copper powder flask. This flask

be one of the most attractive pattern antique
powder flasks.--$95.

both belt loops on the reverse. The box

Complete
Model 1851 N.C.O. leather waist belt with the
original brass keeper, and brass adjuster hook

back, but is solid and pliable
otherwise--$195.

Original,
smooth type, Model 1858, Civil War canteen
with complete butternut cover as well as the
original stopper and chain. It is
becoming rarer and rarer to find Civil War
canteens with their wool covers remaining
intact.--$250.
-


Very
nice condition, straight razor of the typical
ones used in the Civil War. Markings on
this straight razor, however, suggest this
example dates about 1890. Still, it
displays very nicely in a camp scene
display.--$25.
-

Excellent
condition, non-excavated, Federal die-struck
brass "French Horn" Infantry hat insignia.
This insignia remains in perfect condition
with crisp detail and both attachment loops
remaining intact on the reverse of the
pin.--$95.
-




Nice
condition, Model 1855, .58 cal., leather
Federal cartridge box. The box remains
quite supple and has the original, lead-filled
US cartridge box plate remaining intact.
As was quite often the case, the soldier
removed the inside flap to provide quicker
access to his ammunition. Both cartridge
tins remain intact as well as leather closure
tab, brass finial, both iron roller buckles,
and both leather belt loops on the reverse.
This box is literally nice enough to almost
still use today.--$475.
-
Good,
solid, Civil War enlistedman's leather Cavalry
Saber Knot. It is very difficult to find
one of these in decent condition and not
missing most of the tassels. This
example remains very pliable and will very
easily mount back on a Civil War Cavalry saber
for display. Most of the tassels remain
intact, but some of the tassels have a portion
of the ends broken off. It would,
however, display very nicely on a Civil War
Cavalry saber and be an excellent compliment
to it.--$175.
-





Very
attractive, Model 1864, .58 cal., Federal
cartridge box with embossed US on the outside
flap. This cartridge box remains
complete and pliable with both cartridge tins

reasonable price.--$650.

one.--$575.SOLD

be on display in any museum in the
country.--$3,250.

Very
pretty condition, Model 1858, smooth type
Federal canteen with original butternut cover,
sling, and stopper intact. The sling has

has faint initials or a name scratched in with
a pen knife. This is a very nice,
untouched since the war artifact.--$295.
-




Seldom
seen, patented tin drum canteen with a
threaded screw-on spout. A near
identical example is on display in the
Confederate Museum of Richmond, Virginia, and
is the one pictured on page 57 of the Sylvia
and O'Donnell, Civil
War Canteens book. The canteen
remains in good condition with only a couple
of small holes rusted through and has old
silver paint suggesting it was likely on
display in one of the old UCV - GAR Halls.
Most of the time, these canteens are found
missing their screw-on caps.--$295.SOLD
-

Excellent
condition, original, stamped brass, large size
(1 inch), Company Letter "G". It remains

for--$95.
-


Quite
scarce, Model 1839, small oval, US waist belt
plate on original leather belt. The
original percussion cap box remains intact on
the belt and still has percussion caps inside.
The belt is quite short and was probably a bit
longer to begin with even for skinny Civil War
soldiers. You do not often see this
small size, early model US oval on belt for
sale.--$595.
-
Exceptionally
nice condition Civil War enlistedman's leather
Saber Knot. It is very difficult to find
one of these in nice condition and not missing

your nice Civil War Cavalry Saber.--$375.

belt plate on the original, black leather

pouch.--$95.

Very
nice condition, regulation Civil War Cavalry
bit with both brass rosettes intact.
This bit was found in an old log barn here in
Murfreesboro near where "Camp Stanley" was
located during the Civil War. Camp
Stanley was the 1862 - 1863 Federal Winter
Cavalry camp. This bit very likely
originated with this large Federal Cavalry
Winter camp site located here at
Murfreesboro.--$195.SOLD
-
Absolutely
beautiful, 9 inch, G.A.R., black trimmed

Navy revolver.--$225.

Extremely
rare display including the "Maid of Honor"
ribbon for the 1924 UCV Reunion in Memphis,
Tennessee, for the Eastern Division of the
United Confederate Veterans. This ribbon
was purchased out of the Bradley/Forrest
estate in Memphis, Tennessee, around 1970, and
with the ribbon is an ambrotype of a Civil War
Era lady holding what appears to be a Bible.
This display is going to be an exciting
research project for someone. We believe
this young lady could possibly be Marguerite
Toutant Beauregard of New Orleans, Louisiana,
who was the Chief Maid of Honor at this
reunion. Who is up for this research
challenge?--$395.

attractive, regulation, small, leather Federal

pliable condition, small black leather,
Federal percussion capbox. The box

reason, the soldier intentionally removed the

intact inside.--$150.

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.

Pair
of non-excavated spurs that date the late

Unusual,
1850 era, "cylindrical", brass powder flask.

design. This would make an excellent
display compliment for one of the single shot
pistols of the era.--$125.

Nice
little display of Civil War artifacts found
while cleaning out an old antebellum home
here. The artifacts appear to be C.S.

Confederate Flag "UCV" reunion pin (2) two

what the C.S. was using here (3) two brass
musket percussion caps (4) two sew on shirt

cased, apothecary scale with an embossed eagle

condition, Civil War, leather, cavalry carbine

a gallop.--$85.
-
Quite
rare, mid 1800's era, dental forceps for
extracting teeth. I had to go to the
dentist this morning for a crown, and I'm sure
glad I didn't see this thing coming my way.
I have also, through the years, heard that in
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.

spur.--$295.

cavity cast brass "scissor type" bullet mold

recovered several from a mid-1863 Confederate
camp. Excellent condition.--$150. -
