Very attractive, Model 1855, Federal cartridge box, complete with the over-the-shoulder sling, both plates, and original cartridge tins still inside.  This cartridge box rig remains quite stable but does have some surface flaking in areas.  It remains strong and stable enough to display on a mannequin.  This rig just came in out of an old collection here in Middle Tennessee.--$895.

Nice condition, 3 inch, spring loaded, brass lancet bleeder.  This bleeder remains in excellent condition with a very strong spring.  I have no doubt that it would inflict quite a "bleeding" wound today.  Every Civil War collection should have one of these.--$125.

Excellent condition, original Civil War "pestle" from a mortar and pestle set.  This is a very nice Civil War medical item that would be a nice addition to any collection.--$125.

Excellent condition non-excavated cast brass regulation Federal enlistedman's cavalry spur.  This came out of an old building near the Battle of Franklin, TN. and was likely a left-over from the Battle.  The spur has a rich - never cleaned - aged bronze patina, and the original rowel remains intact and will still spin.  Extra nice condition.--$89.

Nice condition floral pattern 8 inch brass powder flask.  This is very typical of the type brass powder flask that many young Confederates left their homes in the South carrying in 1861.  Many had the family fowling rifle, and a brass powder flask just like this one.  Within the first year most were replaced with more current Springfield, and Enfield military rifled muskets.--$95.SOLD

Very nice condition and quite rare Civil War era Officer's soldered seam tin shaving mug together with its original Civil War cased straight razor. This is truly a museum worthy artifact.--$225.

Very pretty, 8 1/2 inch musket powder flask with an intricate hunter and dog scene.  The flask has a rich, 150-year-old, aged patina.  Many young Confederates carried the family musket and a powder flask much like this one as they left home for the Civil War in 1861.  This flask would be a fine addition to any collection.--$175.

Civil War Era, "hard pack" knapsack.  This knapsack came out of a New York estate and was likely carried by a member of the 13th New York Infantry.  It remains in good, pliable condition and will display very nicely.--$195.SOLD*

Non-excavated, double twist, 17 inch, brass military bugle.  We are uncertain of the exact era of the bugle, but its style suggests "turn of the century", early 1900's era.  The bugle is unmarked and remains in very nice condition.  It has the original cast brass mouthpiece intact.  It will display nicely.--$175.

Large, single twist, antique, French manufactured bugle.  The bugle is marked, "G. Gras - 47 Parvis St. Maurice Lille".  It is my understanding that large, single twist French manufactured brass bugles of this type were manufactured from the late 1800's through the early 1900's.  We are unsure of the exact year.  The bugle clearly shows use and would look excellent in any display.--$195.SOLD

Beautiful condition, hand-blacksmith crafted, iron canteen with a nicely constructed, brass spout and stopper.  The canteen has a blacksmith forged handle much like a bucket.  It is out of a Central Arkansas estate and would have no doubt been Confederate carried.  It will display superbly.(CW)--$350.SOLD

Roger's military records to accompany the canteen.(CW)--$3,850.

Very nice example of an original St. Louis Arsenal, solder seam, tin spout, Model 1858, smooth type canteen.  This canteen has a complete butternut wool cover and a small fragment of the original sling.  It is out of an Arkansas estate, was likely Confederate carried, and for many years, was on display in the private museum owned by Ann and C.W. Webb of Lowell, Arkansas.  This canteen would be an excellent addition to any Civil War collection of artifacts.(CW)--$350.

Very nice condition, original, non-excavated pair of Federal Enlistedman brass shoulder epaulets.  This pair of epaulets was purchased out of a Central Ohio estate sale and have numerous small dings and marks clearly indicating actual service.  Both epaulets remain complete with brass attachment tabs intact underneath each.--$325. for the pair.SOLD

Original "1837" date N P Ames manufactured "Peace Flask".  This flask has a rich, aged, bronze/brown patina and clearly shows evidence of wear and use.  The seam on one edge is opened up just slightly.  Many even advanced collections are lacking this flask.--$275.

Really nice soldier hand carved "ball in cage".  These were carved by very bored soldiers - both North and South - from one piece of wood.  This example is 7 inches overall, and has a date of 1864, and has a soldier's name that is a little hard to read.  It appears to be "D. R. McVe???"-1864".  This is a cool little relic that is going to be a fun and challenging research project for someone.--$89.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.

Very attractive condition, small leather Federal percussion cap pouch.  This pouch has both belt loops, brass finial, closure tab, and inner flap all remaining intact AS WELL AS original wool and numerous original percussion caps still inside.  The box is clearly maker marked, "E.

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 reverse.  I have always heard that small type canteens like this one often carried whiskey rather than water.  This is out of a deep South estate and was very likely Confederate carried.--$295.

Quite rare and very attractive, 8 inch, "basket weave", copper powder flask.  This flask dates the 1840 - 1860 era, has intricate detail, and a gently aging patina.  Many collectors have historically believed this to be one of the most attractive pattern antique powder flasks.--$95.

Nice, complete, small leather Federal percussion cap pouch.  The leather remains pliable with closure tab and brass finial intact as well as both belt loops on the reverse.  The box still contains a number of original percussion caps inside.--$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 remaining intact inside.  With this cartridge box is an over-the-shoulder leather sling that was purchased and carried in 1963 for the 100 year anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg.  On the sling is a beautiful condition, original, circular, Federal Eagle breastplate.  This cartridge box and sling displays beautifully and at a very reasonable price.--$650.

Very nice condition, original, small leather Federal percussion cap pouch.  The leather remains quite pliable with inner flap, closure tab, and both belt loops all remaining intact.  There are still original percussion caps inside.  The box is maker marked on the inside flap with what appears to be, "Baker, NY, Maker".--$175.

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 a portion of the tassles.  This example does not appear to be missing a single one, and would be a wonderful compliment to accent your nice Civil War Cavalry Saber.--$375.

Colt 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.

Very attractive, regulation, small, leather Federal percussion cap box.  The box remains pliable with closure tab, brass finial, and both belt loops remaining intact.  There is a small amount of original wool inside as well as several original, brass, Civil War musket percussion caps.--$150.

Nice pliable condition, small black leather, Federal percussion capbox.  The box remains pliable with full original wool and nipple pick intact inside.  For whatever reason, the soldier intentionally removed the small leather tabs on each end of the inner flap.  Both belt loops and the leather closure tab remain intact.  It is uncommon to find an original percussion cap pouch with the original wool and nipple pick intact inside.--$150.

Quite attractive .58 cal. original Model 1855 Federal leather cartridge box complete with original lead filled large oval "U.S." cartridge boxplate and also one original cartridge tin.  The box is missing one iron roller buckle.  The box is maker marked "R.

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 1800's Indian War Era.  Both spurs --$48.

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.

Absolutely beautiful condition, private purchase, cast brass, Confederate used cavalry spur.  Over the years, we have recovered several spurs of this type, and every one has come from Confederate Cavalry sites.  This example has a rich, aged patina and a large, handcrafted, copper rowel that was made from a coin.  A small portion of the original leather boot attachment strap remains with the spur.--$295.

Beautiful condition, non-excavated, Federal Cavalry Officer's cast brass spur.  This spur started out as a standard regulation Federal "roosterneck" cavalry spur.  A jeweler has finely stippled the spur over the entire outside body of the spur.  This would have been privately contract done by the individual soldier.  The original rowel remains intact and spins freely.--$195.

Gilted, two-piece, G.A.R. (Grand Army of the Republic) medal for the 31st encampment held August 22 & 23, at Buffalo New York in 1897.  The medal remains in excellent condition with the attaching pin still intact on the reverse.--$48.

Small folding leather surgeon's field kit made by Stevens and Son, London, and containing eight instruments, including a folding bleeder.  The instruments are all metal rather than bone or ivory handled indicating it is an 1880 to 1890's era kit.  Not Civil War, but will be an attractive addition to an early medical display.-- Only $125.
