Z1782 Original Brass Working Die for New York City Guard Militia Insignia/Plate Description: Here is an original working die for some sort of insignia/plate/etc.. This die is made from a piece of solid brass. The main female die is stamped into a brass ingot with posts on the back. This created a working die that could be used, melted, and remade rather than destroying the main die. The brass knobs on the back helped to fasten the die to the top of the press (fly press or screw press). A thin piece of brass was laid over a plate of lead. Once the die came down, the soft lead backing and pressure would assist in shaping the stamped brass item. The edges would then be trimmed and it appears there is a place where one could have their initial engraved or stamped. You can clearly see the flow lines from use in production on the face of the die. I have looked through a significant number of New York City Guard insignia and plates and have not found this exact example. You can clearly see this die was repurposed. There was an area below the motif where a name plate was at one time. This has been removed and flattened allowing the design for the stamped brass to stand alone. Measures: 3" x 3.5" Recovered: Non Excavated Price: $495.00 |

This created a working die that could be used, melted, and remade rather than destroying the main die.

The edges would then be trimmed and it appears there is a place where one could have their initial engraved or stamped. You can clearly see the flow lines from use in production on the face of the die. I have looked through a significant number of Massachusetts insignia ranging from Civil War through the Spanish and Indian War. I have not been able to find anything close to matching this piece. I would assume this piece is Civil War period or later but my gut instinct says later. What are your thoughts? Measures: 3" x 3.5" Recovered: Non Excavated Price: $495.00 |

Z1780 Original Brass Working Die for a Civil War Breastplate (W.H. Smith Brooklyn Pattern) Description: Here is an original working die for a Civil War breastplate. This die is made from a piece of solid brass. The main female die is stamped into a brass ingot with posts on the back. This created a working die that could be used, melted, and remade rather than destroying the main die. The brass knobs on the back helped to fasten the die to the top of the press (fly press or screw press). A thin piece of brass was laid over a plate of lead. Once the die came down, the soft lead backing and pressure would assist in shaping the stamped brass item. The edges would then be trimmed, and the back would be filled with lead covering the attachment loops. These types of dies are quite scarce because they would wear down after about a 1,000 or so stampings. They would then be melted and used again. This particular pattern was produced by W.H. Smith of Brooklyn, New York. The die pattern is well known and a lot of plates matching this die have his manufacturing mark on the back. This die is a little larger than our other one (Z1779). The outside edge of the top has been slightly ground down. You can clearly see this die was pressed out of another die as there are several pin marks on the back that are out of line.

Z1253 Original Sleeve of Seven .56/50 Spencer Cartridge for the Model 1865 Spencer Carbine by J. Goldmark Description: Here is a pretty rare offering. This is an original sleeve of 7 .56/50 Spencer carbine cartridge. This particular set will also come with an original label from the entire wrapped packet of 42 cartridges.

Another quality which makes this set rare is the fact that J. Goldmark cartridges weren't cased in pressed paperboard sleeves. They were wrapped in paper and folded over. Each one of these cartridges is stamped J.G. for Jacob Goldmark. This little set would make a great addition to any cartridge collection! Recovered: Non Excavated Price: $175.00 |
