MISCELLANEOUS ARTIFACTS:


DUTCH FUSIL BAYONET French & Indian through Revolutionary War Period. Non-dug Dutch fusil bayonet in overall nice condition. There is light surface rust on the bottom half of the blade and the socket is slightly out of round on the front end. Bayonets of this type have been dug in American sites such as Fort Liginoir near Pittsburgh and at the Saratoga Battlefield. $450.00

UNIT MARKED CHEESEBOX CANTEEN
Typical 6" diameter c"cheesebox" style militia canteen with dark green paint and white painted "4th C / 3 R / 1 B." This probably stands for 4th Connecticut / 3rd Regiment / 1st Brigade. There are two additional letters at the bottom that are not discernable. The owners initials "A C" are scratched onto the reverse. Complete and solid with all the leather sling holders in place. Circa 1810 - 1820. $850.00

SET OF CUT STEEL BUTTONS. Set of 23 matching colonial buttons with finely engraved sprig design in center. All shanks intact. 1-1/4" in diameter. It's really hard to find a matching set of colonial buttons. $595.00

"CHEESEBOX" CANTEENS. The "Cheesebox" canteens were popular from 1800 to about 1830. They were constructed of two wooden face plates secured by a tightly wrapped rim of wood. They usually had three leather sling loops and no spout. For a time, government regulations called for cheesebox canteens painted with the letters "US". As they became obsolete, many found their way into state militia inventories.

ENGLISH JACKFIELD TEAPOT Circa 1780. Another Jackfield teapot, slightly later in style, but in very nice condition with no chips or cracks and a small bit of professional restoration to the lid rim. Displays great! Approx. 5" tall with lid. $ 295.00 SOLD!!
