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 on eBay. THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA ~ Recovered 'Behind the Round Tops' (Behind Little Round Top and Big Round Top) ~ Between the Taneytown and Emmitsburg Roads close to the Round Tops and the National Park boundary ~ A rare/unusual relic and the only thing like it in the grouping - An interesting portable writing ink jar lid with an 1862 Patent date mark visible on the top (Made of pewter - it measures 1 1/4" in diameter, and some of the threading and rim has been lost). The 4th image shows a complete non-dug example with the original officer grade lapdesk that it came with. This is for illustrative purpose and is NOT part of the listing. These images were sent to us by a individual who had inherited this lapdesk set and found our eBay listing. An unusual relic and the only thing like it in the grouping - A portable writing ink jar lid with an 1862 Patent date mark visible on the top (There is more to the marking but it is difficult to make out - It must be the rest of the date - The cap is made of pewter), that was recovered from an area between the Taneytown and Emmitsburg Roads close to the Round Tops and the National Park boundary within the last couple years (On private property with permission). Quite a few artifacts were discovered at this location including New York buttons. This relic come from a group that I just acquired in July of 2019. A provenance letter will be included. 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. Land on Battlefields that is now Federally owned, or owned by the Trust, was acquired after the relics were recovered. We will not buy or sell any items that were recovered illegally, nor will we sell any items that we suspect were recovered illegally. Thank you for viewing!
