THE BATTLE OF ANTIETAM / The North Woods (Poffenberger's Woods) - THE WENTWORTH MILITARY ACADEMY COLLECTION - Relic condition fired lead Artillery case shot ball with seam line (the two halves do not line up properly, registers at about .64 caliber on calipers) - Found in May, 1960
A very nice relic condition
fired lead Artillery case shot ball with seam line (the two halves do not line up properly, registers at about .64 caliber on calipers), recovered in the North Woods (Poffenberger's Woods) and was found in May, 1960. It originally came from the Wentworth Military Academy Collection. This was a large collection of dug relics, mostly with labels or in boxes indicating their recovery location and date (apparently put there by the unknown digger), which was originally held by the academy (located in Missouri), and was sold at auction in the summer of 2008.
A provenance letter will be included.
We include as much documentation with the relics as we possess. This includes copies of tags if there are original identification tags or maps, as well as a signed letter of provenance with the specific recovery information.
All of the collections that we are offering for sale are guaranteed to be authentic, and are either older recoveries, found before the 1960s when it was still legal to metal detect battlefields, or were recovered on private property with permission. Some land on Battlefields that are now Federally owned, or owned by the Trust, were acquired after the items were recovered. We will not sell any items that were recovered illegally, nor will we sell any items that we suspect were recovered illegally.
Thank you for viewing!
