Gettysburg Civil War Relic Artillery Shell 300 yards South of Virginia Monument

Description

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 are not recent recoveries, and pre-date the 1960s. The park still owns the majority of relics from the Rosensteel Family.
THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA - A RARE AND SPECIFIC LOCATION - FOUND ON SEMINARY RIDGE NEAR THE VIRGINIA MEMORIAL (Found on the eastern slope of Seminary Ridge, reportedly Just 300 yards South of the Virginia Memoria
in the woods on the North side of the road (presumably Confederate Avenue) in a stream. This is a CS position) - FROM THE ROSENSTEEL FAMILY COLLECTION - A very nice iron Artillery Shell nose fragment, that appears to be from an exploded Parrot or Read Artillery Shell, measuring
2 1/4" by 1 3/4" by about 1/2" thick
, and weighing 4.6 ounces
This
Civil War iron artillery shell nose fragment, that appears to be from an exploded Parrot or Read Artillery Shell
was recovered on the east side of Seminary Ridge a short distance south of the Virginia Memorial.
Specifically, it was recorded as having been  found on the eastern slope of Seminary Ridge, Just 300 yards South of the Virginia Memorial
in the woods on the North side of the road (presumably Confederate Avenue) in a stream
. This artifact was a part of the collection of Iva Rosensteel (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.
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!
