We are working as partners in conjunction with Gettysburg Relics to offer some very nice American Civil War relics for sale. The owner of Gettysburg Relics was the proprietor of Artifact at 777 on Cemetery Hill in Gettysburg for a number of years, and we are now selling exclusively on eBay.The Rosensteel collection of artifacts pre-date the 1960s. They are not unlimited and when they are sold out, we cannot replace them. The park still owns the majority of the artifacts once owned by the Rosensteel Family.
THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA - RECOVERED FROM THE AREA OF CEMETERY RIDGE - SPECIFICALLY, FROM THE SEDGWICK MONUMENT TO THE NORTHERN SLOPE OF LITTLE ROUND TOP - FROM THE ROSENSTEEL FAMILY COLLECTION - A very nice Fired .58 Caliber 3-Ring Bullet This one is from a scarce site from the Rosensteel collection which came to us in very small numbers.
This very nice Fired .58 Caliber 3-Ring Bullet was identified as having been found in the woods on Cemetery Ridge that run South from the Sedgwick Monument up to the northern slope of Little Round Top. There are very few relics from this location left in our inventory. This artifact was a part of the collection of Iva Rosensteel-Rider (born in 1887 and died in 1964), sister of George Rosensteel (founder of the Gettysburg National Museum and the famous Electric Map) so the provenance could not be better. This is the first time that this artifact is being offered for public sale and I feel very privileged in the opportunity to offer it. The Rosensteels were, of course, the most famous artifact collecting family in Gettysburg and the bulk of the relics on display at today's Gettysburg National Park Visitor Center come from the Rosensteels.
A provenance letter will be provided with this relic.
We include as much documentation with the relics as we possess. This includes copies of tags if there are 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 is now Federally owned, or owned by the Trust, was 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!
