ID'd 2nd Lieutenant Shoulder Straps
This pair of 2nd lieutenant shoulder straps are in very good condition.
There size is 1.5 x 3.25 inches, with gold bullion borders and full covered
leather backs. According to the old envelope which accompanies them,
the straps belonged to an acting quartermaster with the initials "JPD".
The handwriting on the top half of the front of the envelope states the
following: "Shoulder Straps I wore in the Civil War as 2 Lt Co K 29
Wis Inf (?) and acting Quartermaster JPD". The bottom half
handwriting is not as legible and I am only able to make out a few words,
but it is clearly initialed and dated "JPD 1920". I have posted an
enlargement of this portion of the envelope on the additional pictures page
and I welcome any and all suggestions of what you think it may state.
Click on the thumbnail of the shoulder straps to view the additional
pictures. The envelope is included with the straps and the set will
make an excellent addition to any Civil War artifact collection.

US Cartridge Box
This US cartridge box with plate is in very good condition. The
leather is in remarkably good shape and is fairly pliable. There is a
manufacturer's stamp but I am only able to make out "Quincy, ILL" as the
name above it is difficult to see. Both original tins are present and
one of the two roller buckle has fallen off but is still included with the
piece inside one of the tins. The original leather thong used to hold
the plate to the outer flap has reduced in size so that only one attachment
loop of the plate is secured. The other end is easily held in place by
a small portion of a toothpick. Other than those two minor
issues this is a very nice box that will display well with any campsite
collection. This item is from a collection of Civil War relics
assembled in northern Va. over several decades. $475.00

Limber ChestThis limber chest is one of two discovered in
December, 2007, in an 18th century barn, on the land of an 18th century home
site, in Amelia County, Va. Both chests are of Confederate manufacture
and use, and are identified. This particular chest, as was the other,
was used by the 12th Va. Inf. to carry military paper (pay vouchers and
associated company documents) and was in the possession of Sgt. Robert C.
Osborne, at the war's end. Osborne, a native of Petersburg and
original member of the famed Petersburg Grays, served throughout the war
with the 12th Va. (formed in 1861 from the Grays) , attached to Mahone's
brigade, seeing heavy action throughout the Petersburg campaign, including
being in the forefront at the re-taking of the Crater, as depicted in John
Elder's famous painting. Although Osborne's family lived in
Petersburg, they owned a farm, Laurel Grove, in Amelia; here the family
raised tobacco, and it was here that Sgt. Osborne left three limber chests
during the Confederate Army's retreat through Amelia, on the fateful trip
culminating at Appomattox Courthouse. The chests have apparently been
in the very barn where Osborne left them so long ago, until their recent
removal. The current owner of Laurel Grove is a direct descendant of Robert
C. Osborne.
This chest, which is exceedingly rare, maintains its original paint, as well
as a rare rolled, iron / tin covering on the lid; directly beneath this
sheet iron lid is about 70% of the original black painted oil cloth, placed
between the sheet iron and wooden lid for weatherproofing and as an
anti-spark mechanism. Apparently, this oil cloth originally extended
over the sheet iron top, as a small swatch of oil cloth remains attached to
the iron top. The tacks and tack holes used to affix the oil cloth are still
quite visible along the lip of the underside of the chest lid. (See period
photograph of two limber chests used by the famed Washington Artillery).
The chest is in decent "barn condition" - it is missing one cast iron handle
and does have a small section of rodent damage to one back corner of the
lid. Also, the right rear corner of the floor of the chest is damaged (as
seen in the pictures). Inside the chest, which was probably made to
transport 12 pndr. case shot, all bolt heads are covered with zinc squares,
attached to the wooden walls via brass tacks. The shell divider
holders are present and are tacked to front and rear of walls of the box via
brass tacks. An extremely rare artifact in and of itself, this limber chest
is identified with the attributed unit being one of the more famous members
of the Army of Northern Virginia. Full documentation and guarantee
will accompany the limber chest. The two 12 pounder cannonballs and
artillery sword pictured with the chest are not included and are there for a
size reference only. The two balls are approximately 4.5 inches in
diameter. The availability of a limber chest, in this condition, with
a solid provenance, is one of those "once in a lifetime opportunities".
