Y775 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.

Z1710 Federal 3" Schenkl Percussion Fused Shell Description: Here is an excavated 3" Schenkl shell with the percussion fuse. I think with some work the fuse would clean up a little better. This shell has one larger pit on the nose of the shell with small to moderate pitting throughout. The fuse is not screwed in all of the way and based on the multiple markings on the fuse, the threads may have stripped when it was originally ready to fire. It has been cleaned and coated.

Z1708 Federal Three Inch Type I Dyer "Case-Shot" Description: Here is an excavated Federal 3" Dyer "Case-Shot" that was recovered on the Western part of the Shepherdstown battlefield. This battle was the last encounter of the Maryland 1862 campaign. This particular shell has a lead cupped sabot with four flame grooves. The grooves would allow the initial flame to reach the paper time fuse, which would ultimately reach the powder charge, exploding the shell. This shell is full of lead case-shot balls. Upon exploding the iron walls would shatter raining down fragments of varying sizes as well as lead case-shot. This style of shell employed a zinc time fuse adaptor which would have held a paper time fuse within the center of the hole. This particular shell would have been fired from Ferry Hill (Home of Henry Kyd Douglas's Father) by one of the batteries under Gen. Alfred Pleasonton. He was in charge of Batteries B&L, 2nd US Artillery and Battery A, 2nd US Artillery. Measures: 2.94" x 7" Recovered: Battle of Shepherdstown, Va.

Z1707 Federal Three Inch Type I Dyer "Common Shell" Description: Here is an excavated Federal 3" Dyer "Common Shell" that was recovered on the Western part of the Shepherdstown battlefield. This battle was the last encounter of the Maryland 1862 campaign. This particular shell has a lead cupped sabot with four flame grooves. The grooves would allow the initial flame to reach the paper time fuse, which would ultimately reach the powder charge, exploding the shell. This is a "common shell" meaning it would be full of powder and not case-shot. Upon exploding the iron walls would shatter raining down fragments of varying sizes. This style of shell employed a zinc time fuse adaptor which would have held a paper time fuse within the center of the hole. This particular shell would have been fired from Ferry Hill (Home of Henry Kyd Douglas's Father) by one of the batteries under Gen. Alfred Pleasonton. He was in charge of Batteries B&L, 2nd US Artillery and Battery A, 2nd US Artillery. Measures: 2.94" x 7" Recovered: Battle of Shepherdstown, Va.

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.

Z1699 Rare Civil War Bullet Struck Militia Style Canteen Description: Here is a fine example of an early tin militia style canteen that was often used by Confederate forces. This piece is obviously an early pickup or barn find. You can clearly see where the bullet entered the canteen on the side which slightly tweaked the seam. The bullet then exited near the top of the canteen which completely blew out the seam from one shoulder sling guide to another. This canteen still retains all three of the shoulder sling guides as well as the tin spout. Judging by the size of the hole, I would say it would have been impacted by a .58 or .69 projectile. Pieces like this are very difficult to find and rarely surface on the market.

Z959 WWI Era Studio Portrait of a Soldier Description: Here is a nice studio portrait of a WWI soldier. The picture slides in and out of the original green cardboard frame. The original cover measures 6.5" x 11". The picture itself measures 4" x 6" in height. I can't quite tell what unit he was with based on the collar discs. Either way, it's still a nice WWI era photo of a soldier with a campaign hat. Price: $15.00 Sale $10.00 |

Z779 Framed UCV Watercolor Art by L.W. Tucker 1902 Description: Here is a nicely done painting for a soldier. However, this one isn't 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. Measures: 15.5" x 13.5" Price: $250.00 Sale $150.00 |
