NON-EXCAVATED ITEMS
NE01-1/6th plate photo
Very attractive fully cases 1/6th ambrotype(on glass)plate of a cavalry sergeant. Plate size is 2-3/4 x 3-1/4. The case is a union "patent" gutta percha, thermoplastic case in very good condition. Made by A. P. Critchlow. & Co. The interior has the decorative felt lining on the left side, with the photo framed in a nice gold colored frame.
The photo iteslf is in good condition and shows a stern looking cavalry sergeant in a sitting pose leaning on the table. Has his saber in front of him, and wearing his gauntlets. His hat is to the left of him on a table. The buttons and stripes look painted on.
But the best part is on the back which shows a lock of hair????? been there a long time, and is very cool. There appears to be period writing on the makers insert, which as far as i can tell reads,"Jan 20 -May ? M. EW""Sat Aug-7- 1859".
I got this about 20 years ago from a local collector( i should have bought more)this has never been on the market before.

NE03-Civil War Ambulance or Wagon Water Keg
Here's something you do not see every day. A civl war period water keg for an ambulance or wagon. I saw a period photo once of one of these on an ambulance. This one is made of solid oak in a cylindrical shape. About 22.5 inches long and 10 1/2 inches wide. This lokks like it will hold 3 gallons at least. Iron straps are all in good solid condition along with the iron legs. The swival handles are solid and work fine. It ha a lead bung hole that will screw in and out of the center with the chain. The one side has the brass spicet knob.Very good showing piece, one that is a must for that display of the civil war wounded or soldier.

NE04 M1858 smooth sided canteen $450.00 Please E-mail me with your order.
This is a non dug M 1858- New York Depot smooth sided canteen. Has the brown colored cover in very good condition, with just a few stretch areas.. The Jack Chain is complete and solid with the drilled hole through the keeper. The New York Depot supposidly is the only maker with the jack chain, almost all other canteens had the cotton or linen string holding the stopper to the canteen. Stopper and part of the cork still there, good condition. Double stitched sling in very good condition. Does have a US Inspector mark on the sling, which is "T F Bayles/ U S Inspector/ New York". He was an inspector from Nov 1862- May 1865. Stencil on front has D C 7 ?, i think it is a F. Some small areas of rust or crud along the 3 keepers, but not detracting .
