ID Disc
This Civil War period identification disc is from a collection from
Petersburg, VA. Civil War soldiers would wear these discs, just like
dog tags of more modern eras, so they could be identified in the event of
injury or death. This disc is in good condition but shows a good deal
of wear. The front shows a worn eagle clutching arrows and olive
branch, along with "WAR OF 1861" above, and "UNITED STATES" below. The
rear is where the name, company, regiment, city and state would be stamped.
In this case, this information was either only partially stamped or has been
worn off from use. It appears that a few of the letters are present
but not enough to provide any information to make an identification.
The accompanying watch chain was added at a later date. This disc and
chain would make an excellent display piece. The disc is approximately
one inch in diameter $475.00

Original US Cartridge Box with Reproduction US Plate
This US cartridge box plate is in good condition with both tins present.
On the inner flap the manufacturer's stamping of "J. B. THAXTER / PORTLAND,
ME" is present with every letter visible. The overall stitching in the
leather is in very good condition. The leather has some crazing, shows
wear with a tear in the top flap strap at the eye. Both roller buckles
are present but one is unattached and stored inside one of the tins.
The US plate is a reproduction which was added at some point. An
authentic US cartridge box plate could certainly be added provided the
distance between the two attachment loops measures exactly 2 3/8 inches.
This cartridge box is perfect for display purposes and would look great in
any campsite grouping. $250.00

Carbine Muzzle Holder
This carbine muzzle holder is in excellent condition and is stamped with
what I believe to be "J. E. and possibly the letter "T" on its strap.
This may have been the inspectors mark. This item is the last of
4 muzzle holders from a collection of relics assembled over several decades
by a father and son in Northern, Va. $80.00

Soldier's Oil Cloth Back Pack
This Civil War period oil cloth back pack is most likely an un-issued US
government surplus piece most likely purchased and re-sold by Bannerman's, a
now defunct dealer in surplus goods. It is in overall good condition
and still retains its hooks, straps and buckles. The leather appears
to be in decent shape but is somewhat stiff and flat. About five
inches of one of the strap tips is broken off and missing but the remaining
straps appear complete. The pack has two brass "J" hook hangers and
and one other brass hook hanger. These are the same hooks that are
commonly dug by diggers as the oil cloth sacks simply disintegrated over the
years. One of the straps is inspector marked "R VALENTINE" with "US
INSPECTOR" just underneath. The mark is light and can be viewed with a
light and magnifier. This fine Civil War period pack will work
perfectly in any campsite relic collection. It measures roughly 17 x
18 inches. $225.00

Huge Pioneer Axe
This pioneer axe is a massive relic. The cast steel blade edge itself
measures approximately 6 1/2 inches top to bottom and the axe head width is
about 8 1/4 inches. The wooden handle is approximately 18 inches long.
There are 2 labels, one is the original manufacturer's label that is affixed
to the handle and the other is a modern label that explains that it is a
pre-Civil War axe. The manufacturer's label is only partially legible.
NOTE: It has recently been brought to my attention that the handle is
a replacement handle but I have not yet been able to confirm this. This axe is from a collection of relics assembled in northern Va. over
several decades and would blend in well with any campsite collection
arrangement. $195.00

State of New York Militia Cartridge Box
This SNY cartridge box is in very good condition and is complete with plate
and both tins. The leather is in great shape and both roller buckles
are present. The inside flap is clearly marked with the manufacturer's
stamp of "Baker & McKenney N-Y". The plate, with its dull brass
patina, is in excellent shape, has both attachment hooks, and is attached by
a bit of the leather thong at one attachment loop. Notice that the
letters "SNY" on this plate are that of the "broad letter" style and
an example of which can be found as plate 548 on page 337 of O'Donnell and
Campbell's book "American Military Belt Plates", 2nd edition. This cartridge
box will make an excellent addition to any collection. $1,395.00
