EXTREMELY RARE NON-EXCAVATED
SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY
BUTTON, TX-29 (Tice TX249) B/M: local. Coat Size, 23mm One of the most difficult buttons for a collector to obtain, with a classic patriotic mark of "Southern Confederacy" on the face. We purchased two of these a couple of decades ago and both were said to be from the estate of Joseph E. Brown, the Civil War era Governor of Georgia. Both had been converted to hat pins so the shanks were missing. This is one of those two and this one was professionally reshanked. This rare Civil War Texas button is one of the most sought after of all Civil War buttons. Reduced Price! $ 6795.00 |

US ARMY CHAPEAU circa 1855 Early military headgear served a very decorative purpose, and at the beginning of American history, the military defaulted to the use of British uniform tradition. This means that the military adopted the use of the Chapeau hat. Chapeaus came in two styles, either the stereotypical tricorn hat or this style, the bicorn, which is familiar to those who have seen paintings of Napoleon Bonaparte. Though largely replaced by other styles, Hardee Hat, Kepi, etc, the Chapeau remained popular with various military and militia groups.
This one is in nice condition with a New York label of "C.
St. John, / No. 118 Broadway, / New York" and the original tin case with
remnants of red paint. The bullion decorations on the edges have come
loose and were just set in place for the photos that they are present in.
It would be an easy task to reattach them. |

EARLY MASSACHUSETTS FIREMAN'S BELT WITH MILITIA BUCKLE, Circa 1845-1860 Great condition, 2" wide belt that is about 30" long as adjusted right now. We suspected it might be fire service related because of the "Protector 2." on the back, and after a lot of internet searching we found that in 1857, the town of Dorchester, Mass (now part of Boston) purchased "a Hunneman engine, Serial Number 597, named Protector No. 2. It is later destroyed in a fire on August 16, 1865, which destroyed the Meeting House Hill firehouse and all apparatus and equipment." $ 950.00 |

LARGE CARVED CIVIL WAR PIPE, Capt. James M. Rorty, 1st New York Light Artillery
Nice, ash burl wood, as many are, with inlaid silver 2nd Corps emblem. Carved identification reads: "1st / (Corps Emblem) / NY / Capt / J.M. / Rorty". James McKay In April of 1861 at the onset of the Civil War, Rorty enlisted in Company G of the 69th New York State Militia. During the chaotic retreat at Manassas, Rorty and many of his comrades were captured. After two months in captivity he made a daring escape from a Confederate prison in Richmond, Virginia with two comrades. Rorty then reenlisted on October 22, 1861 and on November 11, 1861 was commissioned into Company D of the 2nd NY Light Artillery and on December 21, 1861 was transferred into the 14th New York Light Artillery. The 14th participated in the battles of Savage Station, Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville during his service in that unit. On May 30, 1863 he transferred to the 1st New York Light Artillery and was killed in action at Gettysburg! The pipe bowl is approximately 5" tall and the stem is about 7-1/2" long and is in excellent condition with only a couple of minor age cracks and a nice patina. SOLD!!! (52-15) |

CIVIL WAR MAJOR'S SHOULDER BOARDS, worn by Brevet Major William C. Armor,
Company B. 28th Pennsylvania Infantry Approximately 4-1/8" long x 1-1/2" wide and in beautiful condition because they were kept in the accompanying 19th century box that originally held Swan-Bill Hook & Eyes, but was repurposed and marked "Shoulder straps worn as Brevet Major U.S.V." in one line, and then in another hand "William C. Armor" with two more lines that we have not deciphered. Armor rose to the command of his company, was wounded at Antietam and Chancellorsville, appointed aide-de-camp to Maj. Gen. John W. Geary, Second or White Star Division of the Twelfth and Twentieth Corps, and breveted Major for “gallant and meritorious conduct in the campaign of the Carolinas.” As an aide to General William Tecumseh Sherman, Armor received the surrender of the city of Savannah. $ 1250.00 |

REVOLUTIONARY WAR CARTRIDGE
BOX 18th Century leather cartridge box with 24 hole wooden block. Has a nice tooled design around the outer flap and some tack design as well. The tacks may have been added after it's Revolutionary War service, as we see this more frequently in the 19th century. It is in very nice overall condition with tight stitching and supple leather. The attachment at the bottom that the leather tab would have hooked on to is gone, but that's really the only thing missing from this one!
Revolutionary War leather is hard to find! |

EXCAVATED RHODE ISLAND ID DISC
The dug and cleaned brass disc is hand engraved with a name at the top that is unreadable due to corrosion. Under that is a large "1" and "6th RI Vol(s)" over "1861".A quick internet search shows that the 6th Rhode Island " failed to complete organization", so maybe this guy started out with the 6th and went into the 1st RI which would explain the big "1". If we could read his name it would answer a lot of questions, and maybe further research could reveal more. $ 495.00 |

IMAGE OF NEW YORK SOLDIER WITH "SNY" BUCKLE Nice 1/6th plate tintype of a seated soldier in a frock coat proudly displaying his "SNY" (State of New York) belt buckle. The buckle is worn upside down because the soldier knew that the photography methods of the day resulted in the reversal of the finished image. By inverting the buckle, he at least kept the "S" on the left in the final picture. The backdrop is a camp scene with a US flag as well as tents and a cannon. His right eye is interesting as it appears to be discolored and off center. Perhaps a wound? The case is also outstanding, being a molded thermoplastic, or gutta percha with a label that reads: "Genuine / Union Case label / Improved / Fine Gilt and Burnished / Hinge / Scovill Mf'g Co." The case is also a more uncommon brown color and features a patriotic scene on both sides with crossed cannon, shields, a liberty cap, pennants and flags. It's a beauty! $ 695.00 |

CAST IRON SIGNAL CANNON This has a great 18th Century look, but is most likely made in the mid-19thCentury. The barrel is 20" long and about 3-3/4" at its widest point, with close to a 1" bore and has a functional touch hole, so it was intended to be used! It is mounted on what looks like its original wood blocks, but has had a later board mounted to the bottom with 5" wheels. You could remove that board easily enough, but we've found it pretty handy for moving it around. Great size! Large enough to get your attention, but will fit in most relic rooms!

SHARPS 4-SHOT PEPPERBOX PISTOL These are some seriously cool weapons that Sharps began making in 1859 with four .22 caliber barrels and a firing pin in the hammer that rotates each time the hammer is pulled back, so as to fire a different barrel each time the trigger is pulled.

MINIATURE PAINTING
OF LORD HORATIO NELSON Nelson was noted for his inspirational leadership, grasp of strategy, and unconventional tactics, which together resulted in a number of decisive British naval victories, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. He was wounded several times in combat, losing the sight in one eye in Corsica and most of one arm in the unsuccessful attempt to conquer Santa Cruz de Tenerife. He was shot and killed during his final victory at the Battle of Trafalgar near the port city of Cádiz in 1805. The beautiful frame is about 5-1/2" x 4-1/2" and the painting is about 5-1/2" x 4-1/2"and is protected by a slightly convex cover glass. $ 550.00 |

DIARY AND TINTYPE OF PRIVATE JOSEPH L. EYRE ~ Company
D. 9th Pennsylvania Volunteers ~ Killed at Morris Island, South
Carolina ~ Joseph Eyre from Deleware County, PA mustered in on 9/16/1861. His diary (approximately 7" x 3") starts in June of 1863 and mentions the invasion of Pennsylvania by General Lee, the attack on Fort Wagner being a disaster. There are also mentions of Gilmore, Stevenson, Grant, as well as the capture of Confederate ships Fingel and Atlanta by the USS Weehawken, commanded by Captain John Rogers and the Blockade Runner Ruby having run aground. There are also detailed accounts of the Secession by States, clothing costs and rations lists. Unfortunately, the diary ends abruptly as Private Eyre was killed on August 4th of 1863, while in a picket boat at Morris Island, South Carolina. Included is a copy of a newspaper account describing in detail the mission on which he was killed. The accompanying image is a CDV size tintype in a full (split at the spine) case and is super clear. Private Eyre is well armed with what appears to be a foreign rifle with saber bayonet at his side and a knife in his belt. He's wearing a nine button frock and you can see two numbers on his kepi, but can't really read them. Reduced Price! $ 1295.00 |

UNION .69 CALIBER CARTRIDGE BOX FOR RIFLED MUSKET
This throwback to pre-war caliber ammunition was made in response to Lincoln's call for an additional 500,000 troops in July of 1864, which created a shortage of arms and equipment. The Ordnance Department brought out from storage some .69 caliber rifled muskets that had been replaced by the .58 caliber guns. New, larger cartridge boxes were required for these guns.

19TH CENTURY
CASED SET OF THUMB LANCETS, OR FLEAMS, Dated 1837 and ID'd to "J. D. Ward" Small (about 2-1/2" tall) flip-top container made of paper mache' with a cool built up hard painted surface. The interior is divided to hold four folding lancets (knives) with tortise shell handles that when unfolded are about 2-1/2" long. While many of the larger fleams that we see were sometimes used for veterinary work, the "thumb lancet" as seen here was definitely intended for the purpose of medical bloodletting on humans! This was done when your doctor determined that your illness resulted from an imbalance of the fluids in your body, and the remedy was to reduce the amount of your blood! Lancets like these were also used by some doctors for vaccinations. The blades here are marked "W&H / Hutchinson / Sheffield" who was a Surgical Instrument Maker to the Royal Navy based in Sheffield, England, and also sold surgical instruments to the Union and Confederate Armies during the US Civil War. A silver plaque on the top is engraved with the owners name: "J.D. Ward" and dated "1837". This is a cool medical artifact in pretty much mint condition! $ 495.00 (35-32) |
