504 - FINE CONFEDERATE CEDARWOOD CANTEEN WITH OWNERS INTITIALS AND CAVALRY-STYLE SHORT-STRAP.
This is a really nice canteen with a strap made from an old sword-hanger and rigged to fit tight on the saddle. It is a great artifact, and if I didn't have a great one in my collection already, this would have suited me just fine.

488 - CIVIL WAR OFFICERS SWORD BELT WITH HANGERS AND SHOULDER STRAP.
Deluxe construction and grade for this belt with a gorgeous glove leather lining. The buckle is near mint showing all of its original gold wash. It is most likely a product marketed by one of the upscale retailers such as Tiffany's. This belt shows almost no use and is worthy of the finest collection and especially suited for a fine frock coat display.

427 - 35-STAR CIVIL WAR CAVALRY GUIDON.
This Guidon was in my personal collection until recently. It needs to be re-mounted, as it is basically complete but shows some material gaps from shifting of the silk. A good re-mount should stabilize it. The colors have run into each other (as is common) and the gold painted stars are turning to a green patina. This happens when a copper alloy is used in the original paint and the oxidation process takes over after several decades. It is 100% original and looks striking with a nice frame. The last guidon in this general condition sold at auction in the last year or two for close to $10,000. As flags seem to be one of the hottest items on the market today, I'm sure this one won't last long at my price, which is more than fair.

This is a very good condition old cap, and is the very Kepi pictured on the cover of the latest edition of "The North-South Traders Civil War Collectors Guide". It is a very nice example with minimal nips and a slight repair to the visor where it began to come loose from the body. Lining and sweatband are still intact. Very reasonably priced and almost never found anymore.

201 - ANTIQUE CIVIL WAR ARTIFACTS - WONDERFULL GROUPING OF A TROOPER FROM THE 3RD IOWA CAVALRY, WITH A NOTARIZED LETTER OF PROVENANCE FROM HIS DIRECT DESCENDANT.
Found in an old chest in St. Paul, Minnesota years ago, these items were originally the property of Lt. Clinton McChord of Co. B, 3rd Iowa Cavalry. McChord enlisted on 8/30/61 and served until muster-out in August of 1865. The set includes a good condition Colt Pocket Revolver, Roby Cavalry Sabre, Cavalry Sword belt & hangers, a piece of his sabre knot, Telescope w/original case, 2 original tintypes of McChord in uniform, a CDV of our hero taken post-war with cardstock describing his service, some transcribed excerpts from original letters that were so tattered they went south long ago(unsalvageable), and Volumes I & II of Harper's Lithographs of the Great Rebellion saved by our trooper. All items are in very good to fine condition with the exception of the two volumes which I rate as fair. You don't see many groupings coming out these days, and I was very happy to aquire this one. I can't keep everything, but I was tempted on this one. The 3rd Iowa saw some violent action at Pea Ridge, LaGrange as well as many smaller skirmishes throughout the war. They had more losses than most Cavalry units in the West, losing 5 officers and 79 enlisted men killed or mortally wounded in action. For those of you that like ID'd material and would like a little of everything that a Cavalry officer may have attached himself to, this is one-stop shopping. A small collection in itself, and ID'd Iowa items are not easy to come by.

Peter S. Claesgens was Captain of Company F, 146th New York Infantry and later the regimental Lt. Colonel. His wife was a visitor and favorite with the men of his company. These would make a nice addition to a Civil War collection display, or for the man who loves to eat his cereal with an original Civil War twist. What could be better than a dreaming of the 146th's actions at Chancellorville, Gettysburg and the Wilderness with a mouthfull of CoCo Puffs!

sh-1-1 - CIVIL WAR SLOUCH HAT - DELUXE, CIVIL WAR OFFICERS SLOUCH/HARDY HAT IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
One of the most stunning finds I have come across in several years. This is the best piece of Civil War Headgear that I have ever seen.

The best part is the inside label which reads, "J.C. Jones / Dealer in Military Equiptments / Fortress Monroe ".

If you know someone that may be interested in this item, please forward this item to any friends that you think may be interested. It deserves to be in the very best of collections.

lee_1 - FRAMED AND AUTOGRAPHED CDV OF ROBERT E. LEE IN AN ANTIQUE FRAME.
This is an extremely sharp and well toned image of the Confederate Commander with a penciled date "1869' on the reverse. No other markings other than the original, large & bold signature of Lee himself. One of the best(and I am told rarest) of Lee's images, with a great original signature in wonderfull condition. This item has been well cared for since its creation, certainly by someone who loved the great General, possibly a Confederate veteran.
