WHITWORTH CARTRIDGE PACKAGE - EXTREMELY RARE! This is one of the few surviving boxes in existence! Box only, no cartridges (although we will include the reproduction cartridge shown for display). The box is approximately 3-1/2" x 3" x 1/2' in size. Ammunition authority Dean Thomas (author of the Roundball to Rimfire series) notes that this is the only complete box for cylindrical Whitworths that is known to him. One edge is torn as you would expect, but the rest of the box is in wonderful condition, retaining its original shape and even has the closure flap on the back. This is one of the rarest cartridge packages available! $ 2495.00 |

MARKED "CHEESEBOX" CANTEEN WITH SLING circa
1810 - 1830 This wooden "cheesebox" style canteen is in very nice condition with 95% of its original dark patinaed, robin's egg blue paint. The wood has no cracks, chips or seperations. The cooper's initial of "IR", "IP" or perhaps "JR" appear on one side. The leather sling, although broken, appears to be original with an old repair consisting of a couple of post Civil War rivets applied to repair an old break. $ 595.00 |
 |
TINTYPE PHOTO OF POSSIBLE BLACK CONTRABAND Civil War era 1/6th plate image of a young black male in a floppy hat and work clothes. There is some speckling to the emulsion, but not in the facial area. Obviously black images are very unusual, especially from the Civil War period. $ 250.00 |
 |
 |
IDENTIFIED MUSKET SLING Nice, sling with supple leather. No tears, or cracks, but shows signs of use, including the name "C. Jarvis" boldly written on the underside. With a quick internet search, it looks like there are 17 Union and 14 Confederate C. Jarvis'. If you remove officers and cavalry it comes down to 20, and some of those appear to be duplications. It's possible that a search of the archives might result in a signature match! $ 395.00 |

| GEORGE WASHINGTON SIGNED LOTTERY TICKET This ticket was signed by George Washington in 1768 and has spent the last six months on loan to Mount Vernon, where it was displayed in the "Looking West" display as pictured above. It's nicely framed with an engraving of George, and ready for you to display it in your own museum! $ 8, 995.00 A brief history of the Mountain Road Lottery: the lottery was a project conceived in 1767 by George Washington, Captain Thomas Bullitt, and others. Captain Bullitt had served with Washington during the French & Indian War. The idea was to build a road through the Allegheny Mountains in Virginia and to construct a resort in the area now known as The Homestead, Hot Springs, Virginia. The lottery failed, in part due to there being numerous other lotteries at the time, and that the King then banned all lotteries in 1769. However, Captain Bullitt eventually went ahead with the plan, and the resort became a reality without the aid of the lottery or George Washington. The lottery tickets which were signed by George Washington became collector's items. There are about 25 known tickets in various libraries, etc. ** more info on the Mountain Road Lottery at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Road_Lottery |

RICHMOND GRAYS CROSS BELT PLATE Beautiful thick sheet brass, die stamped plate with no wear or damage.

He says "These plates are very rare, yet a die was specifically cut to strike the entire legend on the face." SOLD!! |

CIVIL WAR FIELD SNARE DRUM Made by
Porter Blanchard of Concord, New Hampshire Nice Civil War era military snare drum, measuring approx. 16-3/4" in diameter and about 15" tall. The shell and hoops are original and the bottom head is old, with the top head, ropes and tension ears being replacements. Most of the original label is intact with two penciled "No 20" markings (perhaps a bench number) inside the shell. A brief history of Porter Blanchard: "Along with furniture he made churns and military drums. His sons continued the churn business through the 1890's. The surviving drums date from the Civil War era. In 1864 he is listed as drum & churn maker at 211 Main along with sons, Chas. P. and Thomas. In 1849 the 'New England Mercantile Union Directory' shows Blanchard under 'drums' indicating a business in this type of manufacture at an earlier date. A label in a drum in NH Hist. Soc. collections shows bass & tenor drums, ebony sticks, B & C fifes manufactured by Porter Blanchard, Concord, NH." American Military Goods Dealers and Makers, 1785-1915 $ 1295.00 |

Around the lead cup sabot was a large groove which, was filled with rope, saturated with tallow and lamp-black, which acted as lubrication.

The canton has a Christian cross surmounted by thirteen stars. This banner was purchased from a local Fredericksburg family whose ancestry includes several Confederate veterans. Definitely of 19th century manufacture, but we cannot guarantee that it is Civil War period. The flag itself is approximately 18-1/2" X 15" and the colors are bold and vivid. The silk has a small area of loss near the center. $ 5995.00 |

EARLY WAR SMOOTH-SIDED CANTEEN PICTURED
IN THE CANTEEN BOOK! (page 187) "Multiple features identify this as one of approximately 50,000 regulation canteens made in Indianapolis during 1861-62 by Jacob Voegtle. Nearly all have this thin, slightly tapered spout with a tiny rounded lip. Other noteworthy features are the elliptical collar, low convex faces and pronounced raised rim. Examples have been noted with square screw-nuts on Cincinnati style stoppers. The U.S. Quartermaster contracted for 30,000 of this basic design (including Goldsberry's 10,00) and another 20,000 were delivered to the Cincinnati Depot in late 1862. It appears that Voegtle subcontracted those last canteens to middleman Oliver Holden who falsified his address on the contract as "Indianapolis." New Yorker Holden listed his address as "Cincinnati" on his next large contract which he subcontracted to local tin works." $ 225.00 |
