1MCW  -  INCREDIBLE LINCOLN MOURNING - MEMORIAL VASE  Click on thumbnail photos for larger view   Sale Pending  Near mint condition, dark chocolate color.  5" tall.  Front and back have identical molded designs, all deeply three dimensional, or in other words, high relief.  Starting at the top, the rim is wavy, forming a nice sculpted border.  Below, on the face, is the National Emblem eagle/shield, flanked by the ends of the long scrolls above.  Below this is a mid-chest bust of LINCOLN over a ribband with his name, all surrounded by a wreath.  The base is decorated by geometric designs.  We are unsure of the material used to make this vase.  It's heavy, dense, and the exterior looks like Gutta Percha.  Where the finish has slight wear, the underlying color is a dull orange.  Overall there is hardly any wear, with the largest loss 3/8" at the top, shown in one photo.  The bottom has some markings hard to make out for sure, but possibly "W -- S." and "39".  Never saw another, or anything this nice.  $895

2MCW  -  EXCELLENT GEORGE McCLELLAN 1864 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION LAPEL PIN  Click on thumbnail photos for larger view  Gorgeous brass matted photo portrait of McClellan backed by a fabric red-white-blue flag ribbon.  Stick pin on back.  Photo frame 1" high.  Photo is very crisp and made by the same process as CDV's (albumen print).  Flag ribbon is 2" wide, and bright.  Scarce political pin, enormously significant...McClellan opposed Lincoln in 1864.   $365

3MCW  -  CIVIL WAR OFFICER'S IDENTIFICATION RING Click on thumbnail photo for larger views   SOLD   It follows the design normally seen on these rare rings.  Consists of a flat silver band, tapering wider as it goes up.  And affixed to the top center is a shield, the latter beautifully detailed with stars at top, diagonal band across the middle with the officer's name engraved "Capt. Wood", and vertical bands across the lower portion.  Split between the two shoulders is the information "4th Regt." and "R.I.".  Condition is excellent.  Approx. size 13.  Have no further ID on Capt. Wood.   $795

4MCW  -  SOUTH CAROLINA CONFEDERATE SOLDIER’S HOUSEWIFE  More Photos, Click Here    Virtually never found in the current market, due to its great utility – they were simply used up and not saved. To the soldier in the field, this was one of his most important personal possessions, for their great utility in carrying buttons, thread, needles, pins and more.  Entirely hand made with professional skill.  When unrolled flat, it is 13” long, and 5¼” wide. Exterior or backside is dark brown wool, probably homespun, edged with faded yellow wool ribbon.  Inside has 4 panels, top to bottom, red, white, red, and faded light blue.  Bottom two are pockets.  Top white panel has several crescent flaps for holding pins and needles (several still there).  The entire interior is decorated (all hand sewn and unequivocally ORIGINAL) and it is unmistakably SOUTH CAROLINA IN ORIGIN.  Top panel has crescent moon (S.C. symbol since the Revolution), middle red panel has star, and bottom faded blue panel has Palmetto tree flanked by S.C. (all pieces individually cut and sewn in place in layers).  Entire inside has the same yellow edging as the backside.  Importantly, there is even a possibility that the original owner can be identified, as the top flap of the needle holders has the initials “J J” embroidered on.  Condition is very good, but because it is all wool, it has some scattered moth holes.  The ribbon which wrapped it shut is mostly there but frayed and has some stains. Examination under dual spectrum ultra-violet confirmed that no modern materials or thread exist in the housewife.  For a genuine Confederate soldier’s personal item, this is a great rarity and an important find.  $575  Rock Bottom Sale Price

5MCW  -  AMAZING PATRIOTICALLY DECORATED CIVIL WAR PICTURE FRAME  Click on thumbnail photos for larger views  On Layaway  Could also hold a mirror, rather than a photo.  Oval, approximately 16" tall.  Very high sculpted relief, finished black, almost filled with raised, gold painted patriotic symbols to include stars, crossed cannon over cannon balls, topped by spread eagle standing on a shield.  Both inner and outer edges have decorative gold scroll work or texture.  Bottom has leafy foliage surrounding another shield.  Overall condition is excellent.  One of the wings of the eagle shows a crack where wing joins the body, and there are a few minor cracks around spots on the eagle.  These can easily be made to disappear.  The reverse has inset for your picture or mirror.  In my over 50 years in the militaria business during which I never overlooked furnishings, I don't recall ever seeing better of even equal.  $375

6MCW  -  LOVELY COLUMBIA-LADY LIBERTY CIVIL WAR PIPE BOWL AND STEM  Click on thumbnail photos for larger views  Still retains its original fruitwood stem, which is virtually unique, in that it still exists.  An amazing feat of carving...the face has smooth contours and exacting detail.  Facial features are unmistakably Lady Liberty.  Amazing item.  Has been smoked.  2 7/8" tall.  Excellent condition.  Stem is 15" long and excellent.  Has the classic reddish smooth bark still on the stem.  $375

7MCW  -  BEAUTIFUL CIVIL WAR HAND CARVED PATRIOTIC COLUMBIA-LADY LIBERTY PIPE HEAD   Click on thumbnail photos for larger view   Beautifully executed.  Lovely face in great detail and remarkable smooth finish.  Heavy hair, piled high, with 5 pointed star at top front peak.  Eyes and teeth painted white, giving life to the face.  Excellent condition.  Has been smoked.  2 1/2" high.  2 3/4" front to rear.   $325

8MCW  -  VERY RARE CIVIL WAR ALBUMEN PHOTO LAPEL PIN OF MAJOR ROBERT ANDERSON OF FORT SUMTER FAME  Click on thumbnail photos for larger views  A rarity from our lifelong personal collection of patriotic pins and badges.  A tiny oval brass frame 11/16" tall, enclosing an oval albumen portrait of the Major, under beveled glass.  Comparisons to his likeness and published photos leave no doubt in my mind that this is Anderson, the commanding officer of Ft. Sumter before and during the siege in April 1861.  The pin was very likely created within days of the fall of Ft. Sumter.  The reverse is entirely sealed, and affixed with a T-bar pin and "C" clasp.  Very good, a lot more crisp than our photograph shows.  $195

9MCW  -  CIVIL WAR ERA SMALL RELIGIOUS OBJECT  More Photos, Click Here  Almost 1 1/2" tall, thin sheet metal capsule.  One side hinges open exposing a tiny cast metal figure (1 1/16" tall) which appears to be female, holding what appears to be a crucifix and flowers.  Not sure if this is a saint or the Virgin Mary, but seems to be a Catholic object. This is from the same family of objects as shown on page 82 of Lord's "Civil War Encyclopedia", Vol. 1. Case is stamped "GERMANY". Excellent.  Some wear on the statue.  $35

10MCW  -  ORIGINAL CIVIL WAR CAVALRY OFFICER’S HAT INSIGNIA  Click on each thumbnail photo for larger view  3 ¾” wide, stiffened black velvet backing with applied, stamped brass crossed sabers with false embroidered, embossed surface.  Held to backing by bent wires.  Has a tarnished “7” above, standing for 7th Cavalry, though I can offer no evidence it designates THE 7th Cav of a few years later – though the insignia would be the same.  Fine condition.  Intended to be sewn to a slouch hat.  Minor dust.  $350

11MCW  -  G.A.R. "GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC" VETERAN'S SOUVENIR GLASS CANTEEN  More Photos, Click Here   From the 33rd National Encampment of 1899, in Philadelphia, PA.  Face of clear glass canteen has beautiful, full color G.A.R. membership badge backed by lush green wreath and large crossed flags, all applied as a single label under glass, bonded to the face, in a slightly depressed, convex circle.  The event text is found at the top of this decorative face.  This “label-under-glass” technique is very fragile, and few survive.  There are no cracks in the face.  The reverse side has raised letters U.S. at center.  Has a screw spout with original pewter stopper.  There are small depressions where wire sling guides once were.  One goes all the way through the glass body.  These glass canteens are rare, especially in fine condition.  It took me years to acquire one this fine.  Measures 4 3/8” diameter.  From our collection.  $375

12MCW  -  TINTYPE OF MILITARY MUSICIAN - CIVIL WAR  Click on thumbnails for larger views The dating is based on the fact that his shako is large and taller (than those dating a bit later).  Secondly, we found that tintypes with this particular size and shape generally dated early War.  Irregardless, this is a superb image.  The subject is a 2nd Lieutenant who is wearing a militia dress coat with 3 rows of buttons on chest.  Trousers have a wide stripe down the legs.  He holds his very fancy shako on his lap.  His right arm rests over a 3 Valve Trombone.  The tintype is in original fancy paper mat, with arched top.  Mat is a little rumpled at the bottom from the tintype being slid in and out.  The tintype itself measures 2 1/8" wide x 3 3/8" tall; overall in the mat it measures 2 7/16" wide x 4" tall.  Very clear and crisp.  $95

13MCW  -  CIVIL WAR TINTYPE - MILITARY MUSICIAN - BUGLER  Click on thumbnails for larger views  Very rare image and subject matter.  We encountered very few images with period instruments during my 50 year career in militaria.  Crisp studio pose.  3/4 length pose of seated musician.  He wears what appears to be a standard enlisted uniform modified to look dressier.  Trousers are lighter than Navy blue jacket and appear to have narrow stripe down leg.  He rests lis left arm on table next to him, which has a regulation Cavalry bugle, typical of Civil War period, and which we've sold numerous exact examples.  The bugle retains braid/cord.  Image has brass mat and glass in case.  Measures 2 3/4 x 3 1/4".  Attractive original case with embossed faces.  Quite excellent.  $95

14MCW  -  CIVIL WAR U.S. MARINE CORPS SHAKO (HAT) PLATE   Click on thumbnail photo for larger views  A rare one.  Two piece.  Stamped brass shield 3 1/4" tall, and a separate stamped brass wreath which surrounds the shield.  Face of shield has small stamped brass Infantry horn applied, surrounding an Old English letter "M" against a red fiber disc.  Reverse has three wire loops penetrating from the front, which have thin leather laces holding them in place.  There are two more brass wire loops which were intended to secure the insignia to the hat.  The wreath has two brass wire loops soldered on, to secure it to the hat.  Wreath is fine except somewhere along the line, it got folded perfectly in half and then broke, dead center.  It needs a small reinforcement soldered on back, to fix.  Whole set is excellent otherwise.  Not missing any loops.  Light, even patina.  $595

15MCW  -  CIVIL WAR PATRIOTIC CHANGE PURSE  Click on thumbnail photos for larger view  On Layaway  Thin, embossed maroon-brown leather, with red edging and interior.  Steel frame from hinge, over curved top.  Deeply embossed on one side, within a large oval leafy wreath, is an oval which reads "THE UNION/MUST BE PRESERVED".  Leather is flexible, steel has some scattered thin stain, mostly on one side.  Original chain over the top.  Lined with excellent red leather, but it is split on one side inside; not seen for display.  3 x 3 1/2".  Basically flat; just lightly stuff with tissue for a nice display.  $85

16MCW  -  CIVIL WAR CANNON PRIMERS  Click on thumbnail photo for larger view  The little explosive brass tube with a twisted brass wire loop at its end which is pushed into the vent.  The lanyard hooks on to the wire loop/tube and fires the cannon when pulled.  Have five, 1 3/4" long.  Just found these, which have been in my collection since 1962.  Time to move them on.  Tarnished dark.  Has old museum number on the tube.  Unfired.  Each...$35

17MCW  -  PHOTO BROOCH OF GENERAL JOE HOOKER  Click on thumbnail photos for larger view  1 5/8" in diameter, consisting of a fancy stamped brass border (circular with scalloped border), around a circular 1 1/8", celluloid covered photo portrait of Hooker.  Pin back.  About good as new, except brass is tarnished darker.  Have no information which would explain the issuance of a brooch/lapel pin with Hooker's portrait except that it was one of several different portraits available at one time showing the then current Army commanders - in much the same manner as the CDV portraits which were available of the favorite commanders.   $75

18MCW  -  AMERICAN EAGLE & SHIELD LADIES HAT PIN C.1830-60  Click on thumbnail photos for larger view  The eagle/shield is a regulation stamped brass Army hat insignia.  2 1/2" wide wing span.  Fine detail and condition.  Reverse has 5 1/2" long, silvery tapered, strong and high quality pin affixed.  During the Civil War and up through the Spanish American War, it was a popular practice to make jewelry by transforming insignia into some wearable decorative object.  Over the years we've seen many hat pins (usually made from buttons).  This piece is more uncommon and very attractive.  $95

19MCW  -  RARE CIVIL WAR PATRIOTIC FLAG LAPEL PIN   Click on thumbnail photos for larger view   On Layaway   Unique vintage pin.  Consists of 1 1/16" of vertical flag staff with tiny eagle at top, around which is a billowing full color American flag.  Would stand out beautifully on a coat lapel.  Has original stick pin on back.  Excellent.  $95

21MCW  -  RARE U.S. ARMY CAMEL BELL  More Photos, Click Here   Originally made for U.S. Army Camel Corps introduced by Secretary of War Jefferson Davis in the 1850's.  During the Civil War, the Army apparently used these bells with Cavalry horses (see Lord's "Civil War Collector's Encyclopedia"), and then, after the Civil War, the Army apparently used them on mule pack trains which followed expeditions against the Indians, as evidenced by one being dug at Ft. Apache Arizona.  Made in at least three sizes, the largest definitely for the camels.  These are really hard to find.  This is the mid-sized, 3 3/4" in diameter and 3 5/8" high.  Case in silvery brass and with the Army Coat of Arms in raised design in three places on the sides, separated by sunbursts under stars.  Sand cast, so detail is not great, but still very handsome, and has a remarkably brilliant and beautiful tone.  Top has wide, rectangular belt loop for strap around neck.  Fine condition.  Just a great find, and a great decorator item. SALE PRICE, below our cost... $295 

22MCW  -  CIVIL WAR SOLDIER'S RING  Click on thumbnail photo for larger views  Don't know whether this was commercially made or made by the soldier.  Very nicely done.  Made from hard, dark brown wood.  Basic body is "U" shaped, with a large, flat top, inlaid with a large silver plate.  The wood has 2 parallel grooves in its sides, and the ring's width expands toward the top.  The silver plate on top is professionally engraved with soldier's unit and state information "3rd Regt/N.H.V.".   A soldier's ring with unit information on it is one of the rarest personal items you could own.  Just no soldier's name associated with the ring, unfortunately.  $750

23MCW  -  ORIGINAL CIVIL WAR CLAY PIPES   Click on thumbnail photos for larger view   When I purchased these 35+ years ago, I was told they were excavated from the remains of a pipe factory in the Maryland/Virginia vicinity, which had burned down during the Civil War.  These are the exact type I've personally dug in Civil War camps.  Plain red clay (reeded ones in the photo are listed next) which took a bamboo stem (not included).  Fine condition.  Each...$25...Buy three or more, pay $20 each

23MCW (CONT).  -  ORIGINAL DUG CIVIL WAR CLAY PIPES.  Have only three with more decorative reeded sides, which are dug.  See  in the photos above.  Each...$30  Buy all 3 for $75

24MCW  -  ORIGINAL CIVIL WAR RED CLAY PIPES WITH ORIGINAL BAMBOO STEM  More Photos, Click Here  Photos show representative examples  Bought these decades ago.  Really nice.  Never used.  Absolutely original (non-dug).  Exactly what sutlers sold and exactly what I've excavated at camps and battlefields.  Red clay head with reeded sides (parallel grooved).  Stem is a straight piece of bamboo drilled out and tapered on the end going into the clay head.  Each...$35...Buy three or more, pay $30 each

25MCW  -  CIVIL WAR WOOD MATCHES  Click on each thumbnail photo for larger view   Decades ago, militaria dealers had these fairly often.  These came in flat strips 1 13/16 x 2 1/2".  The wood is scored, and whenever you needed a match, you broke one off. Each strip has about 17 matches, and along one side, each match head is narrowed, and has a little bit of red chemical which long ago, lit when rubbed.  Original packages held 5 strips.  These have long since disappeared from the market. These were in boxes we put away 35+ years ago.  These are great soldier items guaranteed Civil War.  Per strip...$15

TobaccoTwist.jpg (42868 bytes) 26MCW  -  PRIME CIVIL WAR TOBACCO TWISTS  Click on thumbnail for larger view  Familiar to most Civil War soldiers and the common form of buying it.  Shown in Lord's "Civil War Collector's Encyclopedia", except his is missing a good deal of the narrow end.  We have a few fine specimens in the best shape we've ever had. Not much flaking.  Have basic size, with a bit of variation within each (all were hand made), around 5 1/2" to 6" long. Essential for a display of soldiers' effects.  Many have been found with their gear from the War. Only a few left.  Each...$45  Photo shows representative examples

28MCW  -  MINT GRANT CAMPAIGN PIN WITH FERROTYPE PHOTO PORTRAIT  Click on thumbnail photos for larger view  From the Presidential election campaign of 1868.  1 1/4" tall, in bright silver metal, depicting a flag, with stars at upper left.  The background is vertically striped like flag stripes, with oval opening at center containing the excellent miniature photo.  Spread eagle at top.  Has pin back, and is in near mint condition.  A very rare election item.   $375

29MCW  -  MARVELOUS CIVIL WAR AMERICAN SHIELD PATRIOTIC STICK PIN  Click on thumbnail photos for larger view   On Layaway   This one was stamped from thin sheet iron.  Face meticulously painted with red and white vertical stripes under blue canton with gold stars and the word "UNION".  No paint loss.  1 1/8" tall.  Has stick pin on the back.  Prime piece.   $150

30MCW  -  CIVIL WAR "HOME GUARD" LAPEL PIN  Click on thumbnail photos for larger view   On Layaway   A marvelous specimen - rare and picturesque design.  We've collected hundreds of these over decades, and have never seen this exact one before.  Very high relief.  Created as a stamping of thin sheet brass, with what appears to have some silver plate.  Consists of an openwork droop-wing eagle sitting on a large ribband with "HOME GUARD" in raised lettering, all sitting on a cannon which looks like a 12 pound Mountain Howitzer.  Has original pin on back.  Excellent condition.  A super find.  $195

31MCW  -  IMPORTANT ORIGINAL CIVIL WAR NEWS MAGAZINES  More Photos, Click Here   Representative sample shown  A weekly, profusely illustrated publication, and the second most popular national periodical during the War.  “Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper”.  We acquired a good number of these from 1862 to 1864, and will sell them, as they come.  These are roughly 11 x 16”, and 14-16 pages (7-8 sheets).  Filled with War news and pictures, as well as great advertising, from medicines, corps badges, I.D. tags, gun, and mess kits.  Papers are all used showing handling…they were probably read by several family members, then saved.  Folded edge will have some generalized shallow fraying as they were once bound.  See what the people saw in the way of their most trusted news coverage.  Offered at half our price several years ago.      Each…$18   Buy 3 or more…$15 each  Buy 6 or more...$12 each

SEE THE EARLY WARS MISCELLANEOUS SECTION FOR 1810 AND 1812 NEWSPAPERS

32MCW  -  THE MOST IMPORTANT CIVIL WAR NEWS MAGAZINE  More Photos, Click Here    Representative sample shown  “Harper’s Weekly - A Journal of Civilization”, 16 pages (8 sheets), 11 x 16”, profusely illustrated, always filled with War news, as well as fiction, small anecdotes, and fascinating and useful advertising of many soldier related items, for instance tobacco pouches, binoculars, mess kits, stationary, I.D. and corps badges, guns and more.  Center usually has full 2-page picture of latest action of interesting event.  Very good condition.  Spines will show some wear and possibly shallow fraying from having once been bound in a book.  No Civil War collection can convey the essence of the War and the times, without some of these…they held the images through which the population saw the War. This lot was actually subscribed to and collected by a Massachusetts soldier, Lt. George A. Reed, Mass Minuteman (6th) and the 26th, who served 1861-65 and who survived passing through the Baltimore Riots which decimated his regiment.  These date 1862-1865.  They are all equally excellent and interesting.      As they come…Each $24   Buy 3 or more…$21 Each   Buy 6 or more...$18 Each

34MCW  -  CIVIL WAR PERIOD BRASS COMPASS Click on thumbnail photo for larger views  Quality piece, 1 3/4" in diameter.  Body is brass.  Thin dark brown patina.  Interior face is lightly tarnished silver.  Has tiny "MADE IN FRANCE" marking, the first two words very light.  Button on edge which immobilizes the needle.  Brass loop on side.  Beveled glass top.  Shows age.  I've had this sitting in my desk for decades.  $35

35MCW  -  AMAZING!! ORIGINAL CIVIL WAR PORTFIRE STAVES  Click on thumbnail photos for larger view  These were a type of flare, used to fire cannon of the type not using friction primers.  It was a cardboard tube roughly 18” long and ¾” in diameter, filled with a solid, even burning powder.  Many years ago we acquired a few of these, and put them away for the future.  We’ve uncovered them recently during our move.  Because these break easily, some are a bit shorter than the full 18”, having a bit broken off.  Also, due to their great age and relatively fragile nature, some of the surface of the cardboard has become a bit flaky, on some.  Yet, these are still valuable and rare artillery tools, virtually non-existent in the market today.  Buy a few to ship together for one charge.  Full Length...Each…$22 (2 or more $18 each)  Almost Full Length...Each…$15 (2 or more $10 each)

penwipes.jpg (37629 bytes) 38MCW  -  CIVIL WAR to CENTENNIAL (1876) PATRIOTIC PEN WIPES  Click on thumbnail photo for larger view   Belongs in every soldier display, along with pens, ink well, housewife, etc.  These were used to clean the pen points.  Basically an oval piece of thin leather, 3 1/2" long, with serrated edge design. One has a neat little red/white/blue shield sticker on the side. The other has a bust of George Washington sticker on the side. Mint, unused.  Set with one of each...$7      Buy three or more sets...$5 each set

39MCW  -  CIVIL WAR HAND BLOWN GLASS INKWELLS  Click on the thumbnail photos next to each letter below  Excavated in a camp in Virginia about 40 years ago.  We’ve had these in storage nearly as long and only pulled them out when preparing to move.  Several styles were found, most quite rare, due to their fragile nature.  Guaranteed original, and illustrations of the fact that at least in this camp, the umbrella style inkwell was seen far less than many other shapes.  Price guides rate these in the $50-100 range.  Due to the rarity of most of our forms, I believe they rate a price near the higher amount.  However, as we’ve retired and closing out our collections, we’ll price them at bargain levels.  Some of these still have the original $35-40 price tag from at least 30 years ago.  AS AN ADDED BONUS, if you purchase an inkwell below, we will add a free set of pen wipes (38MCW).

A.  We call this one the School House Design.  Prox. 1½ x 2” rectangular base with roof and chimney – the latter being the spout, which is sharp edged being the pontil.  The roof has two lengthwise gutters, one each side of the chimney, on which the pen could rest.  Pale greenish clear glass.  Have a few of this style.  Should be $75.  Now…$50

B.  8-Sided Glass Inkwell.  Prox. 2¼” high (including spout).  Bottom 1½” is 8-sided, prox. 1 5/8” in diameter.  Lip of spout is sharp being the pontil.  Pale greenish clear glass.  A few have a bluish-green tint to the clear glass.  Should be $45   Now…$35

C.  As in B. above.  Have 3 a bit heavier and a darker, clear green.  Somewhat better looking.  Now…$40 Each

NOTE:  MOST OF THE FOLLOWING ARE ONE OF-A-KIND, or perhaps two.  Several are extremely rare.  The listing as a whole is most illustrative of the variety used by the soldiers and sold by the sutlers.

D.  8-sided, pale greenish clear glass.  Much larger than above.  2 1/8” wide.  2¾” high including spout (sharp edged being the pontil).  Only one.  Should be $65.  Now…$45

HBee Hive Shape.  SOLD  Only one.  Couldn’t think of a better way of describing it.  Dome-shaped with  spout on one side. Rarest of the rare – only one noted.  2” diameter base.  Prox. 1 7/8” tall, including spout with     sharp lip. Pale greenish clear glass.  Some thin whitish ground stain inside.  Should be $125.  Only…$75

40MCW  -  G.A.R. "GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC" VETERAN'S SOUVENIR CANTEEN  More Photos, Click Here  Sold at G.A.R. reunions such as the National Encampments.  Very scarce G.A.R. memorabilia, especially this form, the miniature white china canteen with full color G.A.R. membership badge on one side.  The reverse side has color portraits of three presidents – Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley…all assassinated.  Canteen is 4 ¾” in diameter, and has three sling loops like the real Civil War canteen.  Also a functional spout.  Loops and lip of spout have worn gold finish.  Information which came from the seller decades ago in that the original soldier owner was R. A. HANNA OR HANRA, Captain from New Jersey.  Have nothing more to go on.  Fine condition.  The last time I remember seeing any of these for sale, the price was over $500.  $375

41MCW (A & B below)  -  CIVIL WAR  SHOULDER STRAPS   These straps came from an old collection.  (Photo colors are as close as we could get them, with slight variation).

Click on each thumbnail for larger view    (A) -  VERY EARLY ARTILLERY LIEUTENANT’S SHOULDER STRAPS  1 3/8 x 3 7/8”.  Not only early, but a good chance they were on a Zouave officer’s coat.  Very narrow, and not especially tall silver bullion borders, dulled with tarnish but still silvery.  Edged with tiny spun brass wire, probably gilded, on the inside, and silver spun wire on the outside.  The facing is crimson velvet.  The undersides and backing are red.  The extra color on sides and back strongly suggest the straps were on a more colorful uniform such as Zouaves.  Very nice condition showing light use.  Handsome straps of the type and rarity long absent from the market.  $475

  Click on each thumbnail for larger view   (B) - CIVIL WAR CAPTAIN OF INFANTRY SHOULDER STRAPS  1 7/16 x 3 15/16”.  Could have been worn into early Indian Wars.  Nice narrow, tall gold bullion borders, with the thin gilt worn off, making the bullion look like lightly tarnished silver.  Edged with spun brass wire. Tall, narrow silver bullion captain’s bars embroidered each end.  Tarnished lightly and matching borders.  Facing is sky blue wool.  A little dusty.  Back sides faced with lustrous black fabric neatly sewn in place by hand.  No snags or moth holes.  $395

42MCW  -  ORIGINAL CIVIL WAR SOLDIER STENCILS  Click each thumbnail below for larger views What follows are the couple remaining from a small group of Civil War soldiers’ stencils, which I had collected over nearly five decades in the militaria business.  Stencils are exceedingly rare, and desirable personal items.  Aside from their obvious purpose of providing a way for marking ownership of personal property and clothing, the stencil served as an I.D. tag, allowing fellow soldiers to identify their body, should they be killed in battle.  Few stencils have survived, and have always been an important component of collections or displays, based on its highly personal nature.  The following are absolutely guaranteed original.

  1.   1 9/16 x 4 3/4".  Standard design where very thin brass sheet goes over internal stiffener.  Text is “M. MORESYC. CO. I, 47th Mass. Regt.”.  Very good condition.  Very light patina on front – heavier on back.  $325
  2.     Full ALPHABET Civil War brass stencil.  4 1/4 x 6 1/2” sheet brass, with four horizontal lines of letters punched in.  All letters are capitals about 9/32” tall, and all are fine.  & sign, period and comma are also included.  $150

44MCW  -  CIVIL WAR-INDIAN WAR PERIOD LITTLE POCKET MECHANICAL PENCIL   Click Here for Photos  3/16” in diameter, 2 ¾” long.  Brass with fine decorative embossed surface design.  Rear has little ring to attach to cord or chain.  Typical of pencils carried for little pocket notepads.  Some even came with little tube pockets for such pencils.  Very good.  $25

46MCW  -  UNIQUE ELECTION PIECE OF 1864 FEATURING GENERAL McCLELLAN   More Photos, Click Here  A Heroic Tableau.  Finally relieved of his command, McClellan was free to openly oppose Lincoln in the presidential election of 1864.  That he wouldn’t or couldn’t engineer a victory while in command of the Army of the Potomac, seems to be explained by his having joined the Peace Party.  What this is, is a very dignified tableau of McClellan on a horse in a most heroic pose, as if he were already immortalized in statue.  It is a three-dimensional figure about 12” high, with a handsome bronze finish, probably of a stamped sheet brass or bronze.  Beautifully framed with shadow box effect against an olive green paper textured like velvet.  Very excellent original walnut frame with gilt inner border.  The most expensively created electioneering piece we’ve seen in nearly 50 years in the militaria business.  Frame is nearly 22” high.  The figure’s base is well signed, as well as patent dated June 1864.  Condition very excellent.  Paper backing probably an early replacement.  This paper has a slightly noticeable crack along the statue base.  What the tableau’s exact purpose was, can’t be said for sure, but it was almost surely to present his image to the public as one of strength and leadership – as the enlisted soldiers saw him, and not as his superiors knew him.  Extremely rare election piece. (Lots of reflections in the photos)  $695

47MCW  -  LARGE JEWS HARP  More Photos, Click Here  A favorite instrument of Civil War soldiers.  If you know how to play it, it will produce various twangy tones.  I've seldom been able to get one to work.  This is, I think, about as large as they get.  Exactly like several Civil War specimens we've owned.  Can't tell you exactly how old this is, but it does show age.  Fine condition.  4 1/8" long.  $12

48MCW  -  ORIGINAL CIVIL WAR KNAPSACK HOOKS  Click on thumbnails for larger view   Representative sample shown  Brass. Came in left and right orientation.  Sold in pairs.  Consists of a disc shaped stud on one end of a heavy brass hook.  Prox. 1 3/4" long.  About good as new.  Minor tarnish. Have a few pair from very old inventory stash.  Repros cost the same as these originals.  Each pair...$12

49MCW  -  FAMOUS CIVIL WAR QUACK ELECTRIC HEALING MACHINE  More Photos, Click Here  A classic medical marvel of the period, which when I was last at the Smithsonian, showed up as a centerpiece in three separate medical exhibits.  Quite a quality machine making a marvelous display.  Called “DAVIS & KIDDER’S PATENT MAGNETO ELECTRIC MACHINE FOR NERVOUS DISEASES”, prominently displayed on the large and ornate label inside the lid, which also shows vignettes of the machine in use, plus listing full directions for its use. The machine was patented April 15, 1854, though this one is not dated.  I know the date because others I have had over the past 45 years, were dated. The machine comes in a fine solid mahogany case 10” long, 4¾” high and 4½” deep.  Has hinged lid.  Inside case is a brass framework which supports brass gears and pulleys which, when the crank on front is turned, it rotates a double coil on front of a large U-shaped magnet.  Two electrodes attach to wires which come out of each end of the machine, and these were put in contact with any part of the body thought troubled. When the machine was cranked, a pulsing electric current went to the hand held electrodes.  I’ve tested the machine, and it works!  The “fan belt” is replaced and should be tighter.  At times, should these machines refuse to work, the problem is usually a bad contact with the probe wires, or slight adjustment of the coils which must not touch the magnet. Totally complete and very good.  Full label, just toned from age.  Nice finish to wood, and handsome with brass reinforced edges.  This machine was pirated by numerous different companies, and we’ve even had specimens from Europe which stole the technology.  About as fine as these machines come.  Wires are very old, but probably replacements.  All else original.  $325  Sale Price at Our Cost

FOLLOWING IS A NICE LIST OF ORIGINAL AMMUNITION

Only full packet of 10 I recall ever having.  Classic form with exaggerated disc base.  $425

51MCW  -  MAYNARD .50 CALIBER CIVIL WAR CARBINE AND RIFLE CARTRIDGES  Click on thumbnail photo for larger view  Classic form, with brass case having exaggerated disc base, with flash hole at center.  Very scarce cartridge; our meager supply was obtained years ago.  Excellent condition. Brass a little dark.  Bullets are light grey.  Each...$40

52MCW  -  RARE CIVIL WAR CARTRIDGE  Click on thumbnail photos for larger view  Front looks like standard 3-ring minie, measuring .58-.59 caliber, but powder charge is narrower than the bullet extends from the rear cavity for 3/4" and appears to be lacquered linen.  Consulting "Small Arms & Ammunition of the United States Service" by Lewis (Smithsonian), the closest thing is the Johnston & Dow .58 round (plate 37, J.) or the Colt's Revolving Rifle (plate 50, A.).  Bullet has heavy white oxide patina.  Powder case lightly dented in on one side.  Only have one.  $75 

53MCW  -  ORIGINAL CIVIL WAR INFANTRY AMMUNITION  Click on thumbnail photo for larger view of a representative sample  .58 caliber paper cartridge (this bullet known as the minie ball), for the Springfield rifled musket...all models from 1855-1864, and all contractors.  Paper wrapped around bullet and full powder charge.  In use, the tail was ripped off with the teeth (why soldiers had to have teeth), the powder was poured into the muzzle, then the bullet (minus paper) was rammed down.  Nipple was then capped and weapon fired.  Excellent cartridges.  Each...$125

54MCW  -  M1865 & LATER SPENCER RIFLE & CARBINE CARTRIDGES  Click on thumbnail photos for larger view  of representative sample   These are .50 caliber, and the case shows a slight decrease in diameter near the tip.  Offered in original plain cardstock packets of 7 rounds, or single rounds.  Copper cases have some light patina and the bullets are greyish white. Cardstock packets have some split seams, but are decent.  You want to be able to see into them anyway. Packet of 7...Each...$150   Individual Round...Each...$20

55MCW  -  ORIGINAL WRAPPERS FOR PAPER .58 CALIBER CARTRIDGES   We had found one in an old box of material some time ago, and it sold immediately.  We thought that was the only one, until we opened another box in storage for 30+ years. Over the decades we were able to buy a few nearly complete, as issued cartridge packets for the standard Civil War infantry Springfield rifled musket.  We sold the cartridges singly over the years (and still offer some in this section, item 53MCW), but retained the wrappers.  We just couldn’t throw them away, and believed that other collectors felt the same way.  All came from a small accumulation of wrappers I saved over the past 46 years in the militaria business. They are absolutely original Civil War, as described individually. These would be great in any display.

AOriginal Paper Wrapper for 10 CW .58 Cal Cartridges - Click on thumbnail photos for larger view   SOLD  Known as the classic minie ball.  Tan paper.  Prox. 6 x 8”.  Tries to retain the shape of the packet with heavy folds and some chipping and tears on one side. Very good impressions of the cartridges it once held.  $25

BOriginal Paper Wrapper for 10 CW .58 Cal Cartridges - Click on thumbnail photo for larger view   Known as the classic minie ball.  Tan paper.  Prox. 8 x 8 ½” with clipped corners.  Light impressions.  Nice typical wrap.  $25

C.  Original Paper Wrapper for 10 CW .58 Cal Cartridges -  Click on thumbnail photos for larger view   SOLD  Known as the classic minie ball.  Tan paper.  Prox. 6 x 8 ½”, and it shows almost perfect impressions of the cartridges it wrapped.  It also has folds and a bit of tearing and impressions of the string that went around itNeat relic.  $25

56MCW  -  SCARCE AND IMPORTANT ACCESSORIES TO SCARCE MODEL CIVIL WAR EPAULETS   More Photos, Click Here  This scarce model was worn by the U.S. Marines, as well as many state units, of which the Civil War Army was mostly made up. This epaulet model had the feature of being worn either with or without wood cord fringe.  The Marine fringe was red.  I’ve seen yellow fringe for state cavalry units.  The brass frame to hold the fringe is the next difficult part to obtain, if you have the epaulets…missing the fringe.  We offer a matched pair of the brass fringe holders.  The epaulets had open undersides to the crescent ends, into which these fit.  Fine condition.  Only about the third set we’ve found in 30 years.  $35

SilverSet.jpg (47866 bytes) 57MCW  -  MAGNIFICENT PRESENTATION SILVER SERVICE PRESENTED TO A CIVIL WAR VETERAN AND HIS WIFE  More Photos, Click Here  The 31½” long tray has engraved within a 7” oval central panel “Presented to/Capt. L. G. Theodore Bruer & Lady/by the members and ex-members of/F. Comp. 5th REG. N.G.S.N.Y./on the celebration of their/SILVER WEDDING/October 17, 1874”.  Capt. Bruer served in the N.G.S.N.Y. prior to the Civil War, during the Civil War, and well after, as the inscription shows.  His Civil War service will be briefly described below with Xerox copies of records provided.  The area of the tray surrounding the ornate presentation panel has leafy sprays, ferns, flowers and birds, and is marked on bottom “Rogers & Bro./ Triple Plate/1401”. All the following items except the last are marked the same. The set also includes three tea/coffee pots, graduated from 11½” to 10” high with lion paws and lion masks at top, floral engraving on the sides, hinged lidsThe set also includes three matching serving vessels: 9” high, domed lid sugar bowl with lion mask handles, leaf and flower engraving and an open wash bowl with gold washed interior, 4¾” high. The set also includes a creamer with lion mask handles, 5¼” high. The last item is a mismatched footed covered butter dish, also marked “Rogers & Bro./Triple Plate/1884” with very similar engraving, 9” high.  This magnificent set includes in total eight pieces all together, making this an extraordinary set originally – and to have survived, is amazing.  Capt. Bruer, age 38, enrolled April 23, 1861 at Brooklyn to serve 3 months in the 28th Regt., N.Y.N.G. and was one of the very first regiments to answer the call and arrive in Washington DC to protect the Capitol.  Capt. Bruer also enrolled June 19, 1863 at NYC to serve 30 days as Capt., Co. F, 5th N.Y.N.G., which served in Pennsylvania at Harrisburg, Carlisle and Chambersburg (at the time of the Gettysburg campaign).  In a formal setting, it would be appropriate for use even today, not to mention that it is a sumptuous display.  Condition is excellent, showing a good deal of careful use.  Some scattered spots of wear to the silver plating on a few pieces; all else very good.  We displayed this set in our Gettysburg battlefield home for years.  Priced at a fraction of this beautiful and historic set's value.   $895

58MCW  -  BRASS MAT AND GLASS FOR DAGUERREOTYPE OR TINTYPE  Click on thumbnails for larger views  Appropriate for any image from the early dags to late tintypes.  Fine shape.  Brass mat, glass and thin edging.  Very good condition.  2 3/4 x 3 1/4" exterior dimensions.  $10

59MCW  -  PAIR OF EXCAVATED CIVIL WAR BRASS EPAULETS  Click on each thumbnail photo for larger view   Also called “shoulder scales”.  Worn by enlisted men on their shell jackets and 9-button frock coats.  Never a favorite with the men, they often disposed of them in the field whenever they thought they could get away with doing so.  Therefore, these shoulder scales have frequently been found in latrines dug out at the campsites.  Very attractive collector items, especially sought after by dug relic collectors.  We have two pair, dug together, totally uncleaned, with heavy patina, somewhat pale green in color, with a sandy texture.  Complete, except for one flat retainer strap for the underside.  A loose one is included. The underside of the scale area is heavily rusted.  The crescent ends, normally crushed when dug, are not deformed.  The crescent end slipped off the scale and at the attachment point due to the deterioration of the backing, I reattached the two parts with epoxy and it is virtually an invisible repair.  These were dug near Harrison’s Landing, Virginia about 40 years ago. This is all the information that was with them after being in storage 30+ years.  Each pair...$175 OR both for $325

69MCW  -  STONEWALL JACKSON CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA $1000 COUPON BOND AT 7%   More Photos, Click Here   Issue of February 20, 1863.  The sale of interest-bearing coupon bonds by the Confederate Treasury was the primary instrument for raising capital for the War effort.  The collecting of Confederate bank offers the opportunity to combine beauty, rarity, and history in one immensely rewarding pursuit (quoting the North-South Trader’s Price Guide).  This wonderful bond is printed on thin greyish pink paper, and measures (lacking one row of coupons redeemed during the War) 14” wide and 14¼” long.  Masthead has “CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA/LOAN” arching over oval portrait of Stonewall Jackson.  Originally had one additional row of $35 redeemable coupons.  Excellent condition.  Rolled.  $125

72MCW  -  CONFEDERATE STATES $1000 COUPON BOND AT 8%  More Photos, Click Here  Very early bond authorized by the CS Congress August 19, 1861.  Masthead reads “Confederate States of American Loan”, arching over portrait of Christopher Memminger, Secretary of the Confederate Treasury.  Large panel of $40 interest coupons still affixed.  Lacks a few coupons redeemed during the War.  Excellent condition.  Rare Confederate documents which speak to the core of Southern difficulties…that was the severe lack of resources, and thus, turning to bonds as the principal instrument for raising capital for the War effort.  Great history, art and rarity.  Roughly 17 x 17½”.  $95

73MCW  -  LARGE CONFEDERATE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT $1000 BOND AT 6%  More Photos, Click Here   Off-white paper with orange overprint.  16” wide, 28” tall.  Masthead has “CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA” in an arch over the Equestrian Statue at the Capitol, flanked by scrolls.  Below the bond certificate is a large panel of thirty dollar coupons, all present but one, which was redeemed.  Bond was issued in February 1864.  Excellent condition.  Was rolled but originally was folded – the bends difficult to see.   Haven’t had any bonds to offer in over 25 years.  Lovely things.  To quote the price guide “The Collecting of Confederate Bonds offers the opportunity to combine beauty, rarity, and history in an immensely rewarding pursuit!”  All rare, the sale of interest-bearing coupon bonds by the Confederate Treasury was the primary instrument for raising capital for the War effort.  $95

74MCW  -  CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICAN $1000 COUPON BOND AT 8%  More Photos, Click Here  Authorized very early in the War…August 19, 1861.  Sold November 4, 1862.  Arching masthead reads “CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICAN/LOAN”.  This over an oval portrait of what looks to me like John Regan, Postmaster General.  Retains most of its coupons, only 4 redeemed.  Excellent condition.  Very clean, crisp.  14 x 16¾”.  $95

75MCW  -  HANDSOME CONFEDERATE STATES $1000 COUPON BOND AT 6%  More Photos, Click Here  Lowest interest rate we’ve noted.  Larger than usual masthead lettering, emphasizing “CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA”.  Bond authorized by CS Congress March 23, 1863.  Issued 1 April 1863.  Pictured just under the masthead is a wide illustration comprising several substantial buildings.  Bond retains 7 coupons for $30 interest.  Missing about 4 coupons redeemed during the War.  Excellent condition.  Roughly 14” square.  $95

It reads “Confederate States of America Bondholders Committee/Registered and fee paid/28 Dec 81/David Lindsay/Clerk”.  The date 1881 indicates to me an organized effort to find some means to recoup their lost bond investments.  Never heard of this before. Bond measures roughly 14” square.  $95

80MCW  -  MILLER'S PHOTO HISTORY OF CIVIL WAR ADVERTISING PACKET  More Photos, Click Here  The 10 volume set of Miller’s Photo History, published in 1911 is still, in my opinion, the premier photo reference of the War.  In 1910, the publishing company created an advertising packet which included a number of full page photographs which by example showed what the books would include in terms of size and quality, not to mention it was the first group of wartime photos that vets had ever seen.  We have 14 of the example photo pages – all or nearly all in the set.  Simply lacks the advertising brochure and envelope the packet came in.  The example photo pages are extremely interesting, but in no way exaggerate what the books held.  Haven’t seen more than 4-5 of these sets in over 40 years.  Very good condition.  $30

81MCW  -  DECK OF CIVIL WAR PLAYING CARDS  More Photos, Click Here  These are super bargains.  Excellent unused  condition in original paper wrap.  Cardstock on which they were printed is a bit thicker than later cards.  Typical inexpensive cards of the period.  No numbers on the cards.  Value of the card is indicated by number of times the suit is repeated on the card...i.e. 3 hearts is a 3-of-hearts.  Nice colored paper wrap with label (blue or red), unopened, but wrap may be torn or have parted edges.  Reads “GREAT MOGUL SUPERIOR CARDS”.  These were made in Belgium for English speaking trade.  Each Deck...$65

86MCW  -  CIVIL WAR PERIOD CHILD-SIZE KNIFE and FORK  Click on each thumbnail photo for larger view   Knife is 7 1/4" long, and the fork is 6" long.  Overall nice set with bone grips and steel ends.  The only defect is a missing 3/4" chunk of bone on the rear of the fork, which will not affect display value.  Some age darkening on knife blade, and tiny beginning of rust at tip.  $15

91MCW  -  CIVIL WAR PERIOD KNIFE & FORK SET  Click on each thumbnail photo for larger view  As above, except these have matching dark wood handles.  Steel is mostly clean with a little scattered age stain.  Have five matching sets.  Nice additions to any display of soldier personal items.  Each set...$25
