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 Rosensteel collection of artifacts are not recent recoveries, and they pre-date the 1960s. They are not unlimited and when they are sold out, we cannot replace them. This particular grouping is quite small. The park still owns the majority of relics once owned by the Rosensteel Family. THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG ~ RECOVERED OVER 60 YEARS AGO AT MCALLISTER'S MILL ~ NEAR CULP'S HILL ~ THE EXTREME RIGHT FLANK OF THE UNION ARMY AT GETTYSBURG ~ FROM THE ROSENSTEEL FAMILY COLLECTION OF GETTYSBURG ~ A great looking fired .58 caliber 3-ring rifle bullet with light rifling marks. This nice relic was found over 60 years ago near McAllister's Mill at Gettysburg. McAllister's Mill, which sat on Rock Creek, was at the far right of the Union line just south of Culp's Hill. This area is very difficult to get to, and the foundation ruins of the Mill are barely visible today. This artifact was 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 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. 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!
