16 Various Pulled Bullets
Offered in this group are 16 various bullets and round balls all of which
have been "pulled". A pulled bullet was one that needed to be
extracted from the barrel of the gun after misfiring. The beauty of
these bullets is that they have not only been handled once, but twice, by
the soldier. For rifles, a screw or corkscrew device would be
attached to the end of the ramrod. The rod would then be inserted into
the gun up to the tip of the bullet and then turned so as to attach or grab
the bullet. Once securely attached, the rod would then be withdrawn to
extract the bullet. Included in this group are the following: a
.69 cal. three ringer, a swage base, an enfield, several .58 cal. bullets, a
picket, 2 round balls, a Shaler top section, a type I and III Williams
cleaner, a Colt .44 caliber, .44 cal Colt dragoon, and a Washington
arsenal bullet with the star in the base. When the ramrod was screwed
into the Enfield bullet, it was screwed in so far that it created a bulge
inside the skirt of the bullet. I have attempted to show this in the
additional pictures. I have also pictured the interior of the
Washington Arsenal bullet showing the star. These examples all
have nice white patinas and will make an excellent display group for any
collection. $75.00

Five Spencer Cartridges
These five Spencer carbine cartridges are still remarkably solid condition
considering how long they were buried. None of them are perfect, but
none of them are "put togethers" either. All five were recovered by
the late James Renfrow Sr. at Harrison's Landing in Charles City County, VA.
James was a hunting buddy of the renowned relic hunter Gene Cooley.

10 Carved Bullets
These 10 carved or whittled bullets
are from the collection of
Richard E. Clem of Maryland. Carved or whittled bullets are
the result of Civil War soldiers with a lot of idle time. What makes
them so special is the fact that these particular bullets spent time in the
hands of the soldier. One can only imagine a group sitting around the
campfire swapping stories about back home or admitting to missing a girl all
the while whittling away a piece of artwork only to be recovered 100 years
later by a relic hunter wandering through the same campsite. A relic hunter since the early
sixties, Mr. Clem dug these items in various battlefields and campsites in
the area of Berryville, VA as well as Charles Town, WV. For more
information about relic hunter Richard Clem click the link on his name
above. These
bullets will make an excellent addition to any collection.

Confederate Gardner "Blow Thru" Bullet
This excavated
Confederate Gardner "blow thru" bullet is another very cool relic and was
excavated in Spotsylvania County, VA near
Spotsylvania
Courthouse. Due to the thin walls of the bullet nose, caused by
improper casting, the force of the firing would cause the bullet to be
"blown-through". This is an item you don't see everyday and is a must for
any Civil war bullet collection. $55.00
