COLLECTION OF ABOUT 100 PIECES OF CIVIL WAR ERA MEMORABILIA INCLUDING INSIGNIA AND PERSONAL AFFECTS.

This lot consists of numerous small objects housed in about 20 butterfly cases. Items of note include: an original Model 1850 Civil War New York officer’s sword belt plate, 1861 dated dog tag of a New York cavalryman, and a rare Civil War Richard’s Patent knife, fork, spoon combo commonly found on battlefields but non-excavated sets are scarce, partial patent markings on one side. 19th Army Corps badge which appears to be war time, though it could be reunion era. Missing loops for attachment, Smith Patent 2nd Lt. shoulder board and a very rare soldier’s pewter pocket mirror marked with a star and “FIG”. This particular mirror is quite commonly excavated in Federal camps, but this is the first example this cataloger has ever seen of a fine non-excavated specimen. Also included are several tagged relics, miscellaneous small excavated items, several pieces of insignia and buttons, many of which do not appear to be war time, but a few are. There are two folk art carvings including a well used pipe. CONDITION: Overall good to very good. Prospective bidders should examine. 52222-17 (1,000-1,500) – Lot 2058
