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. These are not unlimited and when they are sold out, we cannot replace them. The park still owns the majority of relics from the Rosensteel Family.
THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG - MCALLISTER'S MILL / NEAR CULP'S HILL - THIS POSITION SAT ON THE END OF THE UNION RIGHT FLANK (TECHNICALLY THE FAR RIGHT OF THE UNITS SITUATED WEST OF ROCK CREEK) - FROM THE ROSENSTEEL FAMILY COLLECTION - A
very nice example of a Fired .58 Caliber 3-Ring Bullet
This
very nice example of a Fired .58 Caliber 3-Ring Bullet
was found near McAllister's Mill at Gettysburg. McAllister's Mill, which sat on Rock Creek, was at the far right of the Union line just south of Culp's Hill. This area is very difficult to get to, and the ruins of the foundation of the Mill are practically invisible today.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you for viewing!
