PC1734 Eagle Plate Marked Gaylord - Kerksis Collection This excavated eagle plate is in good condition and is from the Sydney C. Kerksis collection. Back in the 1970's Sydney Kerksis authored the "Bible" for plate collectors otherwise known as "Plates and Buckles of the American Military 1795-1874". Back then, this book was THE reference book and still today remains a great resource. The face of this plate has a very pleasing chocolate brown patina and has no cracks or breaks. The rear, with full lead, has a manufacturer's stamp of "E. GAYLORD" and full lead is one of the finest stampings of this particular mark that I have seen. The plate has no cracks, bends, or repairs but the iron attachment hooks are no longer present. According to the old typed label this plate was "Found; Camp Nelson, Kentucky". There are multiple reasons that this plate will make a great addition to any collection. It will come in its original labeled Riker case. Approx. 63 mm. $260.00 Order Information or Questions? |

PC2239 Eagle Plate This excavated eagle plate is in super condition. Recovered from Rocky Face Ridge, Georgia, its brass face has an even brown patina which is smooth and unblemished. Its rear has full lead and both iron hooks which are solid, complete, and stand straight up. In one small area on the rear near the edge at about the 5 o'clock position there appears to be some minor lead flaking. This flaking is stable and does not affect the overall appearance of the rear or anywhere else. This plate has no cracks, breaks, bends, or repairs and will make an excellent addition to any Civil War plate collection. Approx. 63 mm. $195.00 Order Information or Questions? |

PC1405 Eagle Breast Plate This eagle breast plate is in good condition and was excavated from Trevilian Station, VA. The face has a super nice brown patina with some soil still showing in various places. The detail of the eagle, arrows, and olive branch is still fairly strong but it appears that the eagle stamping was originally somewhat weak. The rear lead is grainy to touch but is solid with the dig location written across it. One of the 2 iron attachment hooks remain solidly in place and upright. The plate has no cracks, bends or repairs and will make an excellent display plate for any Civil War relic collection. Approx. 63 mm. $165.00 Ordering Information or Questions |

PC434 Eagle Plate Marked “E.Gaylord” This eagle plate is in very good condition and its flawless brass face has a pleasing chocolate brown patina. The crisp stamping of the eagle shows excellent detail of the eagle, its arrows, and olive branch. The rear has full lead, both iron hooks and the manufacturer's mark of "E. Gaylord". The rusty hooks are fragile, and one is thin, but both still complete. The mark is completely there with 7 of the 8 letters very visible as the stamping was fairly deep. The rear has one 3/4 inch area of lead that is slightly bulged out just above the letters "lord" in the mark, but it is solid with no flaking. I am not sure what would have caused this other than perhaps a manufacturing flaw. There is no damage whatsoever to the other side of the plate. The plate has no cracks, breaks, bends or repairs and is a beautiful marked plate that will display very well. Approx. 62 mm. $375.00 Ordering Information or Questions |
