Beautiful museum level Confederate Cavalry display consisting of an original Model 1859, rawhide covered, Civil War Era, McClellan saddle seat and a Model 1858, smooth type, Federal canteen that had been Confederate captured and CS used.  This canteen has a large "C.S.A." stenciled on it and was for many years on display in the Tennessee Civil War Museum in Chattanooga, Tennessee.  The sling on the canteen was shortened so as to sling over the cavalry saddle pommel or horn.  Also included in the display is the massive, .75 cal., Confederate imported and carried, Austrian carbine.  We have also included a small display case with percussions caps and the appropriate projectile.  These items displayed together create an absolute museum worthy Confederate Cavalry display.--$1,950 for the entire display.SOLD

Confederate carried standard Model 1858 smooth type Federal canteen EXCEPT this one is out of a Southern Estate, and has a home spun multicolored wool cover, and a custom stopper.  We, unfortunately, only have a family name and can't be sure which family member that it belonged to, but it sings DIXIE loud and clear, and will be a fine addition to any collection.  The canteen remains complete with cover - sling - and stopper.--$450.SOLD

Very rare to find in nice condition, .36  cal., Federal, Navy pistol cartridge box with built-in percussion cap pouch.  It is a rarity to find a Naval cartridge box with the belt loop, the leather closure tab, and especially the interior leather cap pouch all remaining intact.  This example remains very solid, complete, and pliable.--$350.

Very pretty condition, totally untouched, Federal Forage cap.  This cap is out of an Ohio estate and appears to be quite early production measuring 8 inches up the back seam and 3 inches up the front seam.  The cap has sun fading but remains solid as a rock with tarred bill, sweat band, both kepi buttons, and brass adjustor all remaining perfectly intact.  There is a small regimental number "23" on the front of the cap which is very likely for the 23rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry.  Nice, early, tall Federal Forage caps are quite rare to come by.--$2,250.

Very nice condition, single Federal Cavalry Colonel's rank shoulder strap.  This strap has a gilted, bullion edge with a silvered Eagle and gold Cavalry background.  I have shown this strap to several insignia collectors, and most feel it to be late Civil War or early Indian War from its construction and dimensions.--$165.SOLD

Near mint condition, Model 1864, .58 cal., Federal cartridge box.  The box remains very pliable with literally no flaking to speak of at all.  It is both maker and inspector marked, made by R.

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.

Very nice condition drug bottle with the original label intact that once contained "100" pulverous pills of quinine sulfate.  The bottle measures 3 1/4 inches in height.  George A. McKinstry, druggist, Hudson, New York, was listed in the 1862 Hudson, New York, city directory (pictured on the right above) as being in business at that time.  "Quinine Sulfate" was extensively used in the treatment of malaria during this time period.  It is rare to find bottles this old with the original label still intact, and it will make an excellent addition to a Civil War camp scene display.--$75.

Nice condition Civil War era "Horn Handle" straight razor.  The razor was manufactured by "Frederick - Reynold & Co. -SHEFFIELD".  We recover these around every Civil War camp site.--$75.SOLD

Very nice condition, original pair of Civil War Era leather gauntlets.  This is the classic style that you often see worn by officers during the American Civil War.  They are made of a beautiful, white doe-skin leather that has turned a golden tan tone over the years.  As you can see, they display superbly from all angles.  A nice condition, original pair of gauntlets is actually more scarce than uniforms, because they have a much lower survival rate.  These are especially nice, because you can see that they were actually worn quite a bit, but they were always taken care of.  They have some minimal flaking, but that doesn't detract from their quality or overall display presentation.--$650.

Absolutely beautiful condition, silver tipped, rosewood, "Crosby" marked, Civil War fife.  This example is nicer than most you see in museums, and "Crosby" is one of the most desirable makers.--$175.SOLD

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 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.

Really pretty Model 1855 Federal regulation issue .58 cal. leather cartridge box complete with original U.S. cartridge boxplate, and the original cartridge tins intact inside.  In addition this is the scarce U.S. cartridge box with the "U.S." stamped into the outside flap just under the brass cartridge boxplate.  You will never need to upgrade this one.--$575.

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.

Excellent condition, original, stamped brass, large size (1 inch), Company Letter "G".  It remains in perfect condition with the soldered on loop intact on the reverse.  Also, a very nice original, die struck, medium size (3/4 inch), Regimental number "2".  Both hat devices 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 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.

Absolutely beautiful, 9 inch, G.A.R., black trimmed Memorial Ribbon.  This is from the "John Kell" Post# 241, Franklin, Ohio Chapter.  In over 40 years, this is the first Memorial Ribbon from this post that I remember having.--$150.

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.

Bone handle, non-excavated, Civil War soldier's pocket knife as sold by many Suttlers.  The pocket knife has a hoof pick for the horses, a cork screw, and a regular knife blade.  Originally, there was a second knife blade, but that blade is broken.  There is a silver, Federal shield inlaid in the side of the bone handle.  I can clearly see why knives of this pattern were so popular with Civil War soldiers.--$175.

Nice condition, "United States Naval Yard - Boston," marked leather naval fuse pouch.  The pouch remains in nice, pliable condition with a crisp "USNY - Boston" mark on the inside.--$195.

Absolutely beautiful, non-excavated, "SUPER INTRICATE" patriotic, gem size, stamped brass photo case.  The case has a spread wing Eagle with stars above on one side and a raised shield with wreath and stars on the reverse.  In 40 years, I have only had three or four of these.--$350.

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.

Beautiful condition, very ornate, 8 inch, game scene, brass powder flask.  Flasks of this type were very popular with sportsmen in the South at the time of the outbreak of the Civil War.  Many young Confederate volunteers left home for the war carrying the family fowling rifle and "game scene" brass powder flask.  This example is fresh in out of the local area and has an intricate game scene and a rich, aged, uncleaned, bronze patina.--$175.

Civil War Era, civilian horse bridle of the type that many young Confederates who left home with their own horse to join the Confederate Cavalry.  We often recover the "raised heart" rosettes of this type in early war Confederate Cavalry camps.  I personally recovered a heart rosette identical to the one on this bridle from the 1862 camp of Wharton's 8th Texas Cavalry.  This Cavalry bridle was found hanging in a Civil War Era log outbuilding here in Middle Tennessee and will make a very nice - yet inexpensive compliment to your Confederate Cavalry display.--$195.

Unusual, 1850 era, "cylindrical", brass powder flask.  Far more powder flasks of the era were of the classic "bag" style than the cylindrical design.  This would make an excellent display compliment for one of the single shot pistols of the era.--$125.

Absolutely beautiful Civil War era 8 inch brass powder flask of the exact type carried by many young Confederates when they first left home for the Civil War.  The flask has an intricate game scene with a dog and pheasants.  This is guaranteed to add a nice touch of class to any Civil War display.--$175.

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.
