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.

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

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.

Empty Box for the Model 1865 .56/50 Spencer Carbine Cartridges (C.D.Leet)
Description:
Here is a very nice original box that would have originally held 42
.56/50 Spencer Carbine cartridges. This box would hold six sleeves of
seven cartridges. The top measures approximately 2" x 4.75" x 2." The
bottom measures approximately 2" x 4.5" x 3.25." A combined measurement
when the two are together is 2" x 4.75" x 3.5." The label reads,
"Forty-Two / Patent Primed / Metallic Cartridges, / Patented September
7, 1852, and April 17, 1860, For Spencer Carbine. -- / Calibre 50-100. /
Model 1865. / Manufactured by C.D. Leet, Springfield, Masss." The
proprietorship of Charles D. Leet operated out of Springfield,
Massachusetts from 1864-1866. This box contains a very nice and readable
label. It is important to note, this box was manufactured so the tips of
the sleeves would be accessible and stick out a little bit. These boxes
are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

The cabled border is approximately 3/8" across and is surrounded by an
inner and outer jaceron border. According to Dr. Howard Lanham, this
pattern was available in the 1864 Schuyler-Hartley and Graham catalogue.
The leaves are made of dead and bright bullion to create an accent. The
field is a greenish/blue velvet and appears to have faded over the
years. While this set is matching in almost every detail, the fabric on

Description:
Here is a very nice bourreleted Mullane shell. This one has been cleaned
and coated. This one does come with a correct sabot but it may note be
original to the shell. You can clearly see lathe marks on the rings and
the lathe dog is still intact. The tapered wooden fuse is still intact
as are the iron rods on the base. The middle bolt is missing on this
example.

Federal 2.9" Solid Flat Top Bolt for a 10lb Parrott Rifle (Type III
Sabot)
Description:
Very nice minty flat top bolt for the 10lb. Parrott rifle. This unfired
example has been cleaned and coated for your enjoyment. It could almost
pass for a non excavated example as you can see lathe marks on the side
of the body near the base. The brass sabot is in excellent condition and
you can see where the sprue was chiseled off of the nose. While the
exact provenance on this example is unknown, the majority of them are
recovered from Vicksburg, Mississippi.

Original Sleeve of Seven .56/50 Spencer Cartridge for the Model 1865

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.
Jacob Goldmark cartridges were not known for their quality. Hence, the
government recalled thousands of cases of them which were destroyed.
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

what the tag reads. The tag at the bottom reads, "Jefferson Davis
President of the Confederate States Pre Civil War Photo as a Young Man."
Either someone was trying to fool the buyer or the photo card was
replaced at a later date. This painting is very nice and the picture on
the inside could easily be replaced. The artists name L.W. Tucker 1902
is under the painting. There is a little water damage on the upper left
corner and the mat has that yellowed age. I think this one would look
great with a large cabinet card in the middle showing a CS vet.
