A bit of an enigma in that we know nothing of the origin of this item beyond the fact that we acquired it some years ago from an old New York focused Civil War collection. Sealed in a Pat. 1858 aqua mason jar (the lid will not remove) is a 24th Infantry hat plate with shattered fragments of a silk flag. Close inspection of the fragments show characteristics of good age with evidence of hand stitching commensurate with the Civil War period. The hat plate is more common to the early <U>post</U> Civil War years making it more likely that while the flag is of Civil War vintage, the display was put together some time after the war by a veteran of the 24th Infantry. Some speculation to be sure, as is reflected by the price, but this eye appealing display could well be judged as containing the shattered silk flag fragments of the hard fought 24th N. Y. Infantry. <B>Buy with confidence! </B><I> We are pleased to offer a <B><U>no questions asked</U> three day inspection with return as purchased on direct sales!</B> <I>Just send us a courtesy e-mail to let us know your item will be returned per these provisions and your purchase price will be refunded accordingly.</I> <FONT COLOR=#0000FF>Thanks for visiting Gunsight Antiques! </FONT COLOR=#0000FF>  Best appreciated here by a look at our illustration, this old carved peach pit will make an interesting addition to any Civil War era personal item or folk art collection. A neat example of a war time <I>winter camp</I> pastime, surviving examples of carved peach pits sent home from the front or remaining among veteran’s keepsakes have offered good documentation of the popularity of the craft among Union soldiers. This example will offer some room for speculation as one interprets the subject. <B>Buy with confidence! </B><I> We are pleased to offer a <B><U>no questions asked</U> three day inspection with return as purchased on direct sales!</B> <I>Just send us a courtesy e-mail to let us know your item will be returned per these provisions and your purchase price will be refunded accordingly.</I> <FONT COLOR=#0000FF>Thanks for visiting Gunsight Antiques! </FONT COLOR=#0000FF>  Best described here by our photo illustrations, this well aged and period used set of Civil War <I>Full Bird</I> Colonel epaulettes come in their equally well aged and period used <I>japanned</I> sheet iron box. Untouched and as found with that <I>if only they could speak</I> appeal, we acquired this pair some years ago as a result of a Bangor, Maine attic clean out of what was once the home of <B>Bvt. Brig. General Charles Wentworth Roberts</B> who served in the Civil War in the hard fought <B>2nd Maine Infantry </B> as Lt. Colonel from May 2nd 1861 to August 29 1861 when he took command of the 2nd Maine as its Colonel. Resigning his commission due to ill health on January 10, 1863 , Col. Roberts later received a brevet to Brigadier General of Volunteers for his May 1862 action at Hanover Court House, Virginia. While there is no <I>deep dish</I> provenance beyond the knowledge that the, though not fine but esthetically pleasing, pair came out of Robert’s classic circa 1880s home at 186 State Street, that history will be meaningful to the Civil War history enthusiast and is worth preserving here. (The home is still standing by the way and in this modern day of the internet may be viewed by googling the address.) Representative of the most difficult and sought after grade of Civil War vintage epaulettes, this boxed pair is not for the collector of fine condition, un-used insignia but with all considered is worthy of an appreciative home. <B>Buy with confidence! </B><I> We are pleased to offer a <B><U>no questions asked</U> three day inspection with return as purchased on direct sales!</B> <I>Just send us a courtesy e-mail to let us know your item will be returned per these provisions and your purchase price will be refunded accordingly.</I> <FONT COLOR=#0000FF>Thanks for visiting Gunsight Antiques! </FONT COLOR=#0000FF>  Measuring a full 10 inches rim to rim this spun-brass basin remains in wonderful as found and all original condition retaining that attractive natural age patina that comes to this material with the decades. Bearing the scarce early manufacture marking, <I> HIRAM W. HAYDEN WATERBURY CONN. PATENTED DEC. 16, 1851</I> (Hayden sold his patent to the Waterbury Brass Company almost immediately upon its issuance.) this basin will fit well in any quality, earlier through Civil War grouping, and will display especially well among original Civil War hospital and medical items. Of interest to the collector / historian not familiar with patentee Hiram W. Hayden will be the knowledge that while working for what would later become Scovill Manufacturing he made what are believed, the first chased buttons, made in the United States. His Pat. 1851 method for the fabrication of brass kettles and seldom seen basins completely revolutionized the manufacture of sheet brass items. A prolific discoverer of ideas, among his patented inventions are designs for a breech-loading and a magazine rifle. Hiram W. Hayden was a leader in the development of the daguerreotype and was as well as a process of capturing photographs on paper. . <B>Buy with confidence! </B><I> We are pleased to offer a <B><U>no questions asked</U> three day inspection with return as purchased on direct sales!</B> <I>Just send us a courtesy e-mail to let us know your item will be returned per these provisions and your purchase price will be refunded accordingly.</I> <FONT COLOR=#0000FF>Thanks for visiting Gunsight Antiques! </FONT COLOR=#0000FF>

Fashioned from a Confederate foot officer sword, this Civil War Confederate belt knife measures approximately 17 ¼ inches in total length with an 11 9/16 inch hand forged blade with unstopped fuller. Interestingly enough the brass sword pommel appears to have been secured to the peened blade tang using a modified musket rear site screw. Most closely associated today with Virginia and North Carolina as the official state flower of each, the pommel features a deeply engraved dogwood flower with foliage. The sword grip retains a goodly portion of original leather wrap though the wire is gone as it was likely removed as part of the conversion from sword to knife. The cross guard was fashioned from a heavy iron washer. All tight and in as found condition with deep natural age patina on all components, this Confederate field officer’s sword to <I>make do</I>side knife is most likely the product of a discarded, broken sword or battlefield recovery and will serve well as an honest example of the ingenuity of the common Confederate soldier. <B>Buy with confidence! </B><I> We are pleased to offer a <B><U>no questions asked</U> three day inspection with return as purchased on direct sales!</B> <I>Just send us a courtesy e-mail to let us know your item will be returned per these provisions and your purchase price will be refunded accordingly.</I> <FONT COLOR=#0000FF>Thanks for visiting Gunsight Antiques! </FONT COLOR=#0000FF>  A remnant of the days when the country or Army Veterinarian did his work in the field, this kit was clearly made for such work as it was designed for, and shows good period evidence of, carrying in field bag or pocket.
