Description

Please visit our eBay store for a complete list of in-stock Civil War relics organized by recovery location. 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. We do not have much left from this location in our inventory. The Rosensteel collection relics are not recent recoveries, and pre-date the 1960s. The park still owns the majority of relics once owned by the Rosensteel Family. THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA - FROM A RARE LOCATION IN LIMITED NUMBERS - We do not have much left from this location in our inventory - CEMETERY RIDGE / 'THE WOODS BEHIND THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE MEMORIAL BEFORE TANEYTOWN ROAD' - FROM THE ROSENSTEEL FAMILY COLLECTION - This very nice Civil War relic jagged iron fragment from the nose end of an exploded Artillery shell, likely a Parrot or a Read shell, was recovered over 60 years ago from a hard to find location, on Cemetery Ridge in the woods between the Pennsylvania Memorial before Taneytown Rd. on the Battlefield of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania by Iva Rosensteel of the famous relic collecting Rosensteel Family of Gettysburg. It measures about 3 1/2" by 1 1/2" by 1" thick, and weighs 8.2 ounces. We do not have much left from this location in our inventory. These artifacts were 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 signed 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 are now Federally owned, or owned by the Trust, were 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!
