MR-14 If you have always wanted a Napoleonic Cannon well, here is one that will fit in your living room! It has a nice aged brass mustard color and the crested “N” for the Emperor himself. Now this little piece contains a surprise! It is actually a cigarette lighter when you remove the tube. To refill it with lighter fluid you unscrew the breech. It is missing the cotton that goes inside but that can be added. A nice piece of early 1900’s Napoleonic art for that Emperor wanna-be. $75.00

MR-13 Firecracker Cannon. An early 1900’s toy that allowed a child to insert a firecracker in the barrel with the fuse sticking out of the hole in the breech then light it and run! I would think this was a dangerous toy but it survived! I would not advise to try firing it today. The barrel is 3 1/2 inches and from muzzle to trail it is 5 1/2 inches. A neat piece of Americana. $65.00

MR-11 When I first found this I thought it was a crown for someone playing Miss Liberty but….I was udder-ly wrong! This old handmade piece goes on a calf’s head or neck when you are trying to wean it from the Mama cow. The spikes stick Mama cow and she kicks the calf away. You can see how each spike was hand-hammered and then peened onto the metal strap. Nice old piece of Americana from down on the farm. $35.00

CS-SPUR-2 A Variant of the CS-4 Spur as described on page 32 in Bill Baird’s great new work, “Confederate, US and Other Civil War Used Spurs”. This one is missing the rowel as they frequently are but is a great example for your C.S. Cavalry display or Civil War spur collection. $225.00

MR-30 These two spoons were dug in a Union Camp at Port Hudson, Louisiana in the late 1970’s by Legendary Louisiana Relic Hunter and Historian, Billy Spedale. He marked the bowl of one spoon Union but did not mark the unusual Fiddleback spoon. The Fiddleback spoon was a mystery to me due to the oval hole in it's bowl but I have been told it was a “mixing” spoon used to blend ingredients when cooking. The back of this spoon is also marked “Brazil Silver” which means it is Nickel Silver with no real silver content. The pair $25.00

US-SPUR-3 U.S. Pattern 1903 Officer’s Spurs, Mexican Border War Period. Perfectly matched pair of Pattern 1903 Spurs with nicely aged brass, rowels present, and studs on strap plates from an important era of U.S. History. $175.00

MR-26 A pair of solid brass Civil War Era Candlesticks. I can see a staff officer raising the candle up a tad higher with the sliding adjusters to get get a bit more light to write his daily report. Nice condition with a few bumps and bruises but as fully functional today as they were many years ago. A nice addition to a camp display.  $75.00

MR-32 Relics from Stoneman’s Switch in Stafford County, Virginia. This was an important Union Supply Station during the Fredericksburg Campaign and afterwards. It got its name in November of 1862 when it was established to supply the nearby camps of Union General George Stoneman’s III Corps. Thousands of relics were dug in this area out of huts, latrines and in the field. This group was dug by John Hitt it contains a bayonet scabbard tip, percussion cap box finial on leather, a belt adjuster, a “J Hook” for a knapsack with a bit of leather attached and a Barlow style pocket knife. A net display with provenance to the digger. $49.00

MR 118 These Gun Flints are part of a cache of more than 200 found at the site of Fort San Carlos in Baton Rouge many years ago. Fort San Carlos was Garrisoned by the Spanish from 1779-1810. Spanish Forces under Bernardo de Galvez captured Baton Rouge from the British on September 21, 1779 during the Revolutionary War. Spain was an ally of the American Patriots and the capture of Baton Rouge denied the British the use of the Mississippi River. British Lt. Colonel Alexander Dickson surrendered the fort, which was little more than a 9 foot deep ditch and mud palisade, after an eight day siege. The Spanish then rebuilt the fort. The new fort, know as Fort San Carlos was shaped like a six-pointed star armed with 16 guns. The fort was rebuilt again by the Spanish in 1799. The fort was demolished in 1819 following construction of what is now known as the “Pentagon Barracks” just North of the old fort.
Each flint will come with a letter of Provenance including the name of the person who found them.

Price $15.00 each
