- GEORGIA CONFEDERATE TRIPLE ARMED, 1/6th plate tintype in a
nice stag design thermo plastic case. A young soldier standing holding
his model 1842 musket, small pistol holstered on his belt as well as a
large wooden-handle bowie knife in a brass tipped sheath. Image has
some edge solarization that is not really obtrusive with the image in
hand. Came out of an unknown Georgia estate about 15 years ago, so no
specific ID is possible. The uniform matches up with a Georgia uniform
shown in Portraits in Conflict - Georgia. Thus we are listing price
wise as just a triple-armed Reb................................$2,500.00

- ORDER #9 SOUVENIR PHOTOGRAPH, 8" x 10", souvenir
card from an unknown Baltimore photographer showing a vignette photo
of Lee with Confederate banners to either side and the text of his
famous Order #9, a farewell to his troops in April 1865 at Appomattox
Court House. An albumen photo on the original card stock, minor
staining, but not affecting eye appeal or content. First one we have
had of this rare souvenir albumen issued in 1865-66 in Baltimore.

- SOUTH CAROLINA CAVALRYMAN WITH PALMETTO FROND ON HIS HAT,
1/4 plate tintype. A young South Carolina cavalryman seated cradling
his saber in his arms. He wears a pinned back hat with a woven palm
frond South Carolina Palmetto Tree on his hat. The artist had put some
gold paint on the buttons and emblem, but just missed the trunk of the
tree where the distinctive palm frond woven pattern can be clearly
seen in the enlarged photo. There's a weak pencil ID inside the case
that is difficult to read so it is just being advertised as a
"South Carolina soldier". These Palmetto frond emblems were
common with many South Carolina soldiers especially from the Low
County around Charleston where locals still today use these fronds to
make decorative baskets. A nice image that certainly can be identified
by State........................................$2,950.00

- YOUNG WESTERN
REBEL DOUBLE ARMED, 1/6th plate melianotype in full leather
case. This young Rebel grasps his model 1842 musket and has a large
revolver tucked into his belt. His kepi ornament resembles a bird
which could be possibly a Louisiana pelican, but not definitive. He
wears a US buckle Model 1839 which was not a Union issue so it
obviously a reused buckle from the Mexican War period. His countenance
is definitely Confederate with the homespun uniform. The image has
some minor blems, but is a nice Reb at a reasonable
price...............................................$1,995.00
