TINTYPE OF YOUNG SOLDIER ON HORSEBACK
The tin itself is
about 2" X 3"and has been put in a 1/6th plate leather case. I depicts a
young man in what looks like military garb and a kepi
holding what might be a short sword or a riding crop with some interesting buildings
in the background, one of which could be a stable.
Nice interesting outdoor scene!

Ira A. Graham |
IMAGE OF NEW YORK SOLDIER
PICKED UP ON ANTIETAM BATTLEFIELD BY
CONNECTICUT OFFICER
This is a great picture of a seated
soldier in a New York state uniform with his "SNY" belt buckle. If you look
closely he's wearing some sort of mitten on his left hand.... some kind of
wound? Accompanying the image is a note that reads: "Found on the
Battlefield of Antietam by Ira A. Graham, Co. B. 14thRegt. Conn. Vol" in old
brown ink. We don't know who the New York soldier is, but Ira A. Graham
mustered into the 14th Connecticut on August 20, 1862 as a private and received
the following promotions:* Corporal on October 25,1863
* Sergeant on January 4,1864
* Sergeant Major on March 26,1864
* 2nd Lieutenant on July 27,1864
* 1st Lieutenant on January 13,1865
Graham was
wounded on February
5,1865 at Hatcher's Run,
Virginia
and mustered out May 5, 1865 as a 1st
Lieutenant . We found a photo of Graham
on line and have included it here.

To quote Warren Tice in Uniform Buttons of the United States:

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.

It features a nice Damascus barrel, some scroll engraving on the metal parts and

when folded and was released by
pulling the trigger guard back, but the tip of the bayonet has worn and no

U.S.
MODEL 1861 SPRINGFIELD RIFLE-MUSKET
The Springfield Rifle-Musket was the most common small arm
carried by the Union soldier and came to represent the arms of the US Army.
This one is in very nice condition with all the metal being a very smooth gray
with some plum color mixed in. Markings on the lock are "U.S." over
"Springfield" and an Eagle in front of the hammer and dated "1861" behind the
hammer. The barrel has the "V" and "P" (for viewed and proofed) over an
eagle's head and is dated "1862" at the breach. The mismatched dates would
indicate a very early 1862 production, when locks finished late in 1861 could be
mixed with a more recently finished barrel. The walnut stock is nice with
some dings on the flat opposite the lock, but two cartouches are visible
including the "ESA"
cartouche which should always be present on these arms.
The ramrod also appears to be original to the weapon. A very nice example
of this classic Civil War musket!

JAMES RIVER STONEWARE & THE S.S. PERRY CONNECTION by
Curtis B. Rice
This book will help the reader to decipher identifying traits left behind by
specific potters, thus allowing the separation and identification of the wares
left behind by those individual
potters. It will help collectors, and antique dealers match up specific traits
to identify their favorite potter or manufactory as
well. There are also diagrams showing the method and sequence some decorators
used to apply their artwork. This book follows Sanford S. Perry, an early New
York trained potter, through 8 or 9 states and 50 plus years of singlehanded
production. Many of those years were in Virginia!
Perry was a left-handed decorator and potter, placing him in a very select
group. This book will even show you how to identify a
"lefty" from a "righty"! There are maps in the
front and rear showing the likely paths and distances he covered in his
productive life. The
areas covered are Richmond, Henrico County, Charles City County, and Petersburg.

18th CENTURY FLEAM SET
Approximately

shagreen (sharkskin) case with silver mounts, containing
six tortoise handled, folding fleams. A fleam is a sharp lancet or knife
that was used for bloodletting
back when the prevailing theory was that illnesses were a result of an imbalance
of the fluids in your body.
This meant that under certain conditions it was desirable to reduce the amount
of blood in a patient!
Just before George Washington's death, he was having trouble breathing, and his
doctors thought that if they
removed some blood it would reduce the inflammation. By the time Washington died
they had removed
about 40% of his blood over a 12 hour period!

PHOTOGRAVURE PLATE AND IMAGE OF CONFEDERATE
GENERAL WILLIAM MAHONE
William Mahone began aiding the Confederacy while still a
civilian through the use of his
Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad, when he bluffed the Federal
troops into abandoning the shipyard in Portsmouth by running a
single passenger train into Norfolk with great noise and
whistle-blowing, then much more quietly, sending it back west,
and then returning the same train again, creating the illusion
of large numbers of arriving troops. The
ruse worked, and not a single Confederate soldier was lost
as the Union authorities abandoned the area. After this, Mahone
accepted a commission as
Lieutenant
Colonel and later
Colonel
of the
6th Virginia Volunteer Infantry Regiment in the Confederate
Army. He commanded the Confederate's Norfolk district until its
evacuation. He was promoted to
Brigadier
General in November 1861. He aided in the construction
of the defenses of Richmond on the
James River around
Drewry's Bluff and led his brigade at the
Battle of Seven Pines, and the
Battle of Malvern Hill. He also fought at
Second Bull Run,
Fredericksburg,
Chancellorsville,
Gettysburg, the
Wilderness, and
Spotsylvania Court House.
Mahone was nicknamed "Little Billy"
being small of stature, 5 foot 5 or 6 inches, and weighing only
100 lbs. As one of his soldiers put it, "He was
every inch a soldier, though there were not many inches of him."
He became became widely regarded as the hero of
the
Battle of the Crater at the Battle of Petersburg by
rallying the remaining Confederate forces
after the explosion, and
repelling the attack, resulting in the
Union losing their initial advantage.
Photogravure is photo-mechanical process whereby a copper plate can
reproduce the detail and continuous tones of an actual
photograph. This particular plate prints an approximately
4-1/4" x 6-1/2" photo (card included) war-time
photo of Mahone, with a printing block with his signature below. The
paper wrapping for the plate has the label of The Lewis Publishing Company
in Chicago. Handwritten on the back of the photo card is "General
William Mahone (not in his hand) / Petersburg, Virginia / To Mrs. W. L.
McGill / 42 South Market St." The Mahones bought a house on South
Market Street in 1875, so this plate dates sometime after that. Mrs. McGill
refers to Mahone's daughter Otelia who married William L. McGill of
Petersburg, Virginia. An internet search turned up many, many
photographs of Mahone, and numerous versions with this same jacket and hat,
but not this exact pose.
Could this be a unique image? We don't know, but it certainly is a
unique grouping.

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 mostsought after of all Civil
War buttons.

MODEL
1803 HARPERS FERRY RIFLE, Dated 1815, Converted to Percussion
This gun was originally produced
as a .54 caliber flintlock rifle
in 1815 at the famous Armory in Harpers Ferry,
West Virginia. The lockplate is marked behind the hammer
with "Harpers / Ferry / 1815" and a Federal
eagle in front of the
hammer.
It was converted to percussion and
the bore has been bored out to approximately .60
caliber and is now a smoothbore. The flintlock breech block
was cut off of the barrel and
then
a large distinctive breech with the percussion system
was added.
There has been some conjecture that this type of conversion
could be Confederate in origin.
The hammer is very distinct and a bit crude which
could also possibly indicate Confederate
manufacture. The
one piece walnut
stock has a very pleasing appearance
overall.
On the flat of the stock opposite of the lock plate you
can see the original Harpers Ferry Arsenal inspector stampings. The
patch box release is intact and the patchbox still
opens when it is pressed. The
ramrod appears to date to the conversion.
The action works, but is a bit weak.

IDENTIFIED CDV AND HARD IMAGE OF JOHN HAZLETT, COMPANY
K, 64TH OHIO
The CDV is not the sharpest, but it is nicely autographed
on the back "Yours truly / John Hazlett / Co. K 64th Regt. / Sergt. Ohio Vet
Vols" in old brown ink, with the "Sergt"
having been added in pencil. The CDV is accompanied by a 1/6th plate
ambrotype of Hazlette seated between two young ladies. When this glass
image is removed from its half case, there is a bit of black cloth backing
and a small type-written label that reads "Sergt.
John Hazlett / Co. K 64th O.V.I." Hazlett enlisted on October 3, 1861
as a private and mustered out as a Sergeant on December 3, 1865. Also
included is a Higginson Book Company printing of The Story of the
Sherman Brigade by Wilbur Hinman, which is a huge volume (over 1100
pages) detailing the history of the 64th and 65th Ohio Infantries, as well
as the 6th Battery Ohio Artillery and McLaughlin's Squadron Ohio Veteran
Cavalry. Hazlett's photo appears onpage 731 of this tome and is the
very pose seen in this CDV (this book alone retails for $ 120.00). The
64th Ohio was a hard fought unit, taking considerable losses at Stones
River,
Chickamauga, Rock Face Ridge, Resaca, Spring Hill, Franklin and
Nashville among others. Hazlett's service records and pension records
are also included.

UNION MODEL
1864, .69 CALIBER CARTRIDGE BOX by Rueben Nece, Philadelphia
Lincoln's call for an additional 500,000 troops in July of 1864 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. This is one of 5,000
boxes ordered from Rueben Nece of Philadelphia at that time. These
were the last .69 caliber rifled musket
cartridge boxes ever purchased by the United States government.

INFANTRY OFFICER'S HAT INSIGNIA 158th Regiment
Approximately 3-1/2" X 2-3/8" felt over tin body topped
with a great gold bullion embroidered infantry horn, in nice field worn
condition. Visible in the center of the horn is the shadow of the regimental
numbers "158". There were only two 158th regiments, one being a 9
month unit from Pennsylvania that existed from November of 1862 until August
of 1863, and the other was a 3 year unit from New York that formed in
November of 1862 and mustered out in June of 1865. We were told by an
insignia collector that the hole in the tin that allowed the regiment
numbers to be sewn on easily makes this a late war piece. Given that fact
and the greater service time and the fact that the New York unit had 46
officers versus 34 for the Pennsylvania unit, the odds are in the 158th New
York's favor, but can't say for sure.
This piece was STOLEN!!!

RARE STARR MODEL 1858 .36 CALIBER DOUBLE ACTION NAVY REVOLVER,
This is a very early example made somewhere around
1859, being serial number 461 and it has a nice, mostly smooth brown patina with
some original blue here and there. The frame
is marked on one side: “STARR ARMS CO. NEW YORK” and
on the other: “STARR’S PATENT JAN.15, 1856". The
one piece wooden grips are nice, with no cartouches visible, which is typical as
the Starr Navy's rarely have inspector marks.
The action is very smooth.
These guns were ahead of their time and may just have
been too advanced for the average Union cavalryman because while the initial
Army and Navy issues were double actions, Starr was requested later in the war
to discontinue their double actions and only
supply single actions.
These double action navy
revolvers are much more rare than the Army versions as
only about 3,000 .36 caliber units
were ever produced.
