    Description

    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 exclusively on eBay.
    We have only a few relics left from this location. The Rosensteel collection of artifacts are not recent recoveries, and pre-date the 1960s. The park still owns the majority of the relics once owned by the Rosensteel Family.
    THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA - FROM A RARE LOCATION, IN LIMITED NUMBERS - CEMETERY RIDGE / THE WOODS BEHIND THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE MEMORIAL BEFORE TANEYTOWN ROAD - THE ROSENSTEEL COLLECTION - A very nice relic condition dropped .58 caliber Type I Williams Cleaner Bullet
    This dropped .58 caliber Type I Williams Cleaner Bullet
    was found on Cemetery Ridge in the Woods behind the Pennsylvania Memorial before the Taneytown Road. We do not have much left from this location in our inventory. These artifacts were 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 signed provenance letter will be provided with this relic.
    We include as much documentation with the relics as we possess. This includes copies of tags if there are original identification tags or maps, as well as a signed letter of provenance with the specific recovery information.
    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. Some land on Battlefields that are now Federally owned, or owned by the Trust, were acquired after the items were recovered. We will not sell any items that were recovered illegally, nor will we sell any items that we suspect were recovered illegally.
    Thank you for viewing!
