PC2937 US Belt Rig with Plate, Cartridge Box and Cap Box This belt rig is in good condition and includes the cartridge box with US plate, the cap box and US belt plate. The leather is in overall good condition. The cartridge box includes both tins and US plate which is attached with a piece of wire. The box is in good shape with the exception of one roller buckle which is detached but still inside the box. The cap box is in good condition and still includes the wool and pick. The belt plate is in excellent condition and has a very pleasing dull brass patina. The rear has the puppy paw style attachment hooks and the lead is in good condition. The belt itself is in fair condition and it appears that the loose end was sliced off at some time most likely due to shredding from use.

PC2743 US Smooth Side Canteen This US smooth side canteen will make an excellent addition to any campsite display. This relic comes from a Georgia collection and it appears to have been painted at some point in time. The condition is very good and it is a solid piece without any visible holes. It may have been either an early pick up or a barn find where it remained exposed to enough elements to rust. The paint may have been added for the purposes of decorating and/or preserving it. The old paint appears to be silver in color, some of which, has flaked away. The sides of the canteen are slightly dented from general wear and tear. The seam along the edge is in good condition and all three strap attachment loops are present and solidly attached. The pliable leather strap is not original to the canteen and was added at some other point in time. It does, however, add a nice look to the canteen not to mention that it can be used to hang the canteen in a display. The pewter spout is in good condition but does show some wear. The cork stopper and chain may have also been added later for display purposes. This canteen is a solid piece and will make a very attractive relic for any collection. $150.00 Ordering Information or Questions? |

PC2015 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 Order Information or Questions? |

PC1937 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 Ordering Information or Questions? |
