Description
I have collected many authentic Civil War items over the past 15 years. Most have been purchased from antique stores/malls and stores in Wisconsin. A few have been purchased on eBay. In this auction I am offering most of my CW items in one big lot.The largest (and most unique) item is a Civil War commanders desk which I purchased at an antique show at the Alliant Center in Madison many years ago. I believe the seller had a tag that said it was a CV Commander's Missouri desk. I have used this desk to store many of my authentic CW items. It is made of a hard thick wood and has metal strips on the sides. It measures 18 x18 inches and approx. 6.5 inches high at the back.
I purchased the next 3 items from a booth in an antique mall (Roscoe) in Beloit Illinois. It was a large mall and the manager said that the dealer had 100% authentic items as he also taught a course on the CW.
A leather US cartridge case used in the Civil War. I am pretty sure the brass plate on the front is not authentic - as I placed it on the front since it easily fit. However I separately include another thick brass plate that was listed as authentic.
A leather cap box used in the Civil War
A pair of CW binoculars in their original case
Also included is:
A Civil War grave marker that was never used. It was surplus but is very rusted on the front and backside.
Grape shot (large heavy metal ball)
A very old compass that is set inside a case made out of wood.
A drinking flask and folding cup that fits inside a leather case.
Very old eating forks
Original bullets from a CW battle.
I also include some 1862 booklets that are not in great condition as well as a
few more CW theme items (not original).
Also, I have many CW history books that I will include with this lot for the buyer when I meet them in my town just outside of Madison WI. This is a LOCAL PICKUP only. Thanks for looking.
