Absolutely beautiful Revolutionary War era "Cheesebox" canteen.  The canteen remains in excellent condition, and has several sets of soldier initials on it.  One initial set is with the date "1800", and a second set of initials is with a date of 1804.  There is faint remnants of an old museum tag that says something to the effect of "Revolutionary War canteen carried in the Civil War and picked up at Shiloh".  This canteen has been in a private Arkansas Museum for the past 30 years or so.  This is a mighty fine artifact.--$850.

Beautiful, near mint condition, complete deck of "Great Mogul" Civil War playing cards.  This is the red deck.  This deck remains in the original wrapper, and the tape seal has never even been broken.  This will be a museum quality addition to someone's Civil War collection.--$395.

This is one of the most drop-dead beautiful "Batty Peace Flasks" that I have seen in a long time.  It has a rich, aged patina, super crisp detail and is dated "1850".  If you have a super nice Mississippi rifle, this flask would be fantastic hanging with it.  It is about as nice as you are going to see.--$595.SOLD

Small, leather, Cavalry, .52 cal. cartridge box.  The box is marked "E. Gaylord - Chicopee Mass" on the inside flap and still has the wooden cartridge block intact inside.  The box would be correct for Spencer ammunition and came from an estate near Hoover's Gap, Tennessee.  This could very well be from one of the "Lightning Brigade" troops as they passed following the Battle of Hoover's Gap.  It will make an excellent compliment for a Cavalry or Carbine display.--$375.

Circular UCV Reunion button from August 6 - 7 - 8, 1902, at Greenville, South Carolina.  The button pictures the Confederate Battle Flag, the First National Confederate Flag, and the Third National Confederate Flag.  The attachment pin remains intact on the reverse, and it has a nice, clear "Whitehead and Hogue" manufacture mark.--$125.SOLD*

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 lots of usage with old bends and ripples from 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 easily still be used today.  It has both cast brass US rosettes intact as well as the lower crossbar (which is usually missing) and both rings.  The bit also has the original hook intact for the brass curb chain.  If you have been looking for a really nice Federal Cavalry bit, this one should fit the bill.--$225

Excellent condition, non-excavated, brass cased, 4-blade, Civil War Era bleeder.  This bleeder has three lancing blades and one regular knife blade.  Most Civil War Era bleeders do not have the knife blade.  It remains "razor sharp" and would still work just fine.--$175.

Nice condition, Model 1864, .58 cal., Federal cartridge box.  This cartridge box has the embossed US oval on the flap, but during the Civil War Era had a standard US oval cartridge box plate attached over the embossed US mark.  The box is maker marked, "W. H.

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.  It was without a doubt Confederate carried and 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 needed to be lansed and pulling the trigger.  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.

Very pretty condition, regulation, Federal percussion cap box with original nipple pick and still filled with percussion caps.  Clearly written on the outside flap is the soldier's name, Thomas Miller.  Here's the problem - this percussion cap pouch was purchased a number of years ago from a Central Ohio estate sale, and the problem is, there are about twenty Thomas Millers out of Central Ohio.  Still an excellent ID'd relic in beautiful condition.--$225.

Beautiful condition non-excavated brass match safe with spread wing eagle motif down the side.  I recovered one of these along the Federal Battle Line here at Stones River about 30 years ago !!  This would be an EXCELLENT addition to someone's "camp scene" display !!--$95.SOLD

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.

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.

Original, .54 cal., leather cartridge box for the Model 1841 Mississippi rifle.  This box appears to be pre-Civil War Federal production but is out of a local family whose Confederate ancestor is said to have carried it.  There is absolutely no question that many .54 cal. Mississippi rifles were Confederate carried.  The box has clearly been used but remains quite stable.--$450.

Very attractive, regulation, smooth type, Model 1858, Federal canteen with original butternut cover, linen sling, and stopper.  The butternut cover is exceptionally nice on one side, but is worn through on the side rubbing the body.  The linen sling is complete and remains in very nice condition.  Every Civil War collection should have an original canteen.--$375.

Excellent condition, private purchase, cast brass, Civil War Era Cavalry spur.  These were sold by military suppliers, such as Schuyler, Hartley, & Graham and are often recovered from Confederate Cavalry sites.  Nita and I recovered an identical example from the 1863 camp of Starnes Confederate Cavalry.  This example remains in excellent condition with the rowell intact and will spin.--$375.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nice little display of Civil War artifacts found while cleaning out an old antebellum home here.  The artifacts appear to be C.S. related as the display includes (1) Confederate Flag "UCV" reunion pin (2) two non-excavated .69 cal. musket balls typical of what the C.S. was using here (3) two brass musket percussion caps (4) two sew on shirt buttons that look to be made from Oyster shells.--$65. for the entire display

Nicely cased, apothecary scale with an embossed eagle on the outside of the case and original weights and pans intact on the inside.  I have been told that these cased scales were used both in the medical/apothecary application and also were used around the early gold mines.--$295.

Small leather Civil War era Pistol cartridge box correct for .44 cal. revolver ammunition.  The box remains in nice condition with pliable leather, and is only missing the tip of the leather closure tab.  This would be a perfect compliment to display with your .44 cal. Colt or Remington Army revolver.--$175.

Excellent condition original unissued red Federal Artillery Hat Cord.  A very nice - yet inexpensive, addition to your Civil War Artillery display.--$48.

Excellent condition, Civil War, leather, cavalry carbine boot.  This device was used to keep the barrel of the cavalry carbine stable while riding.  Without this cavalry boot to keep the carbine restricted, it would have been flying all over the place when riding at 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.

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.

Model 1864 Federal .58 cal. cartridge box with the original "over the shoulder" leather sling.  The cartridge box remains pliable with the original .58 cal. cartridge tins still intact.  The leather sling is slotted for an eagle breastplate, but there is no evidence that there was ever one there.  The entire rig is in overall solid, pliable condition.--$895.

Non-excavated, private purchase style spur that we often excavated from Confederate Cavalry campsites.  The spur remains in nice, stable condition with the original rowel still intact and will spin.--$150.

Very nice condition original Civil War Cavalry Carbine "Bore Brush".  This will make a very nice compliment to display with your Civil War carbine display.--$69.

Excellent condition, United Confederate Veteran "Delegate" badge from the April 25, 1906, "U.C.V." Reunion at New Orleans, Louisiana.--$150.SOLD

Cool little Reunion badge and ribbon with a suspended gilted brass stirrup indicating Cavalry of course. The unit and event date would have been in the cross bar, but has fallen out somewhere along the way.  A cool little Cavalry ribbon and a fun research project!!--$50.

Stamped brass, top bar to a "G.A.R." (Grand Army of the Republic) ribbon and bar.  There are fragments of the original ribbon on the back of the bar.  This was found in the attic of a Civil War Era Ohio home and has a rich, never cleaned, aged patina.--$38.

Pristine, non-excavated, pair of brass, Federal, enlistedman's shoulder epaulets.  The epaulets are completely intact with both attaching tabs underneath as well as the brass, sew-on clips to attach the epaulets to the uniform.  If you have a nice Federal shell jacket or enlistedman's frock coat, these will be perfect to complete your display.--$375. for the pair.

Very nice condition, non-excavated, stamped brass, Federal Infantry bugle hatpin.  Displayed with the bugle is a small, stamped brass, 1/2 inch Company letter "G".  They are displayed in much the same way they would appear on a Federal Kepi.--$135.

Nice condition, non-excavated, stamped brass "Hardee" hatpin.  These were worn to hold up one side of the Model 1858 Hardee hat.  This example is in nice condition with one of the small brass loops remaining intact.--$175.

Perfect condition large size stamped brass Civil War hat letter"K".  It really is hard to find a "K" in perfect shape with no damage and the loop on the back still intact.--$85.

Beautiful condition non-excavated regulation U.S. cavalry "hi-port" bit.  This bit was lightly plated a few years back and until fairly recently was actually STILL BEING USED.  You couldn't ask for a nicer example, and the plating could easily be removed if desired.  Cross bar and both cast brass "U.S." rosettes remain intact.--$225.

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.
