This powder flask measures 8 inches.  It has been cleaned at some point.  This flask came out of a historic house in Lithonia Ga.  It came with an image of Elijah Lazarus Anderson. I am showing his image as it is so neat but it has been sold.  Another item came out of the house which is a wooden stick cut from a tree in the center of the 7 pines battlefield.  This will be listed separately.  According to a family member cited in the book Gwinnett County Families, the flask was presented to Elijah by the Daughters of the Confederacy of Lawrenceville in 1932 when he received his Southern Cross of Honor medal. The flask has obviously been used however and I wonder if family lore might be in error.  Am offering it for what I paid for it when I purchased the lot.

Neat little wooden match safe which measures 4 by 1 3/4 of an inch.  Civil war matches thrown in.

Evidently it was a custom when hat pins became popular in the 1880's for civil war buttons to be used in the construction of hat pins.  You can see a couple of letters in the back mark which was welded to the pin.  I was able to identify this as a Civil War button, probably a cuff button.  The pin is bent but the button itself is in good condition on the front. This would be a neat item for a woman who likes dressing in period clothes for enactment and other events.  

Age of this item is unknown but I think it is an attractive and unusual powder measuring tool.  Measures a little over three inches.  Note: This was appraised by a  knowledgeable person as being Civil War era.  

This flask was engraved post war with an engraving of a drum and C S on one side and the inscription "Capt J M Holmes Co "A" Third Georgia".  I did find a Jenkins M Holmes, a private of the Burke Guards who was wounded at Malvern Hill and was discharged shortly after but because he was not listed as a Captain I was not sure if it was the same one.  (see last paragraph)

Nice patina on this bullet mold.  One is for a round ball and the other for a minnie ball.  There is a manufacturers mark but I can't read it.  Some pitting in areas and a screw missing.       

This little only four inches vertically.  A couple of small indentations. This would be a nice pick up for someone with a gun case which is missing the flask.

Very high quality pocket watch by the Hampden Watch Company http://www.pocketwatchrepair.com/histories/hampden.html. According to the serial number this watch was produced in 1889. The pocket watch was owned by Samuel B Palmer, a Confederate Soldier who was from Knoxville Tennessee and enlisted with W C Kain's Tennessee Light Artillery Company. Palmer was a prisoner of war confined at Camp Douglas. He was released on March 13th 1865. Palmer was a gifted artist and drew buildings and the surrounding places at Camp Douglas. I was fortunate enough to find an old reproduction of the article in a childrens magazine which told of Palmer and showed some of his drawings. I will include a copy of his remarkable drawings with this listing. The papers relating to Palmer's war time service were unfortunately sold apart from his watch. I have copies of some of the papers, one copy being his release from Camp Douglas. Palmer settled in Macon Georgia after the war and worked as a tax assessor. Please view the scans of the watch which measures 2 inches in diameter. His full name is engraved as well as Macon Georgia. The watch is not in working order. The pictorial scenes on the cover are quite worn. I do not see any problems with the face of the watch and don't know how to view the works.

Nice dug specimen. I found this small sized button on page 221 of Tice's Button book. I have identified it as being CSA 203As1. There are lines in the letter A on a plain surface. Please correct me if I'm wrong. There are markings on the back but I can't make it out. This was dug in Georgia in the exact area of Stoneman's Raid into Central Georgia.

Lots of wear to this little wallet which had some Conferate notes in it but the seller took them out before selling the wallet. See scans.
