Confederate States Buckles and Plates

CS13/ ALABAMA STATE SEAL BUCKLE

$ No reasonable offer refused

This just dug Alabama State Seal is as rare as they come. As you can see it has the very distinct Map on Tree but has rim damage and a few freeze cracks. Has a nice chocolate patina. The lead back remains intact with the belt keeper present but missing the two puppy paw studs. In any condition this is rare as hen teeth.

I asked the digger where it was dug, and his answer was, out from under my search coil. (SMART FELLOW...wouldn't you say.) I do know he's in a camp and apparently it ain't hunted out. With just a little effort this one can be repaired and made to display very nice and possibly be worth around $8500.00!

CS2/ C.S. (EGG PLATE) THICK CAST

$2500.00

Here's one you just want see but once in a blue moon. This is only the second one like it I've seen in 35 years. This is one of the thickest cast egg plates you'll ever see. It weighs 1.4 oz and has a beautiful green patina with a little confederate dirt still remaining from the 51st. Alabama "Mounted Infantry" Camp in Midland, Tennessee. The telegraph wire attachment wire has decade but is not uncommon on these plates. This plate has no repair and will be hard to find another egg in this superb condition. This was dug by Tommy Philpot and will be featured in the February issue of the American Digger Magazine.

CS11JP/ Confederate States "EGG" Plate

$1175.00

This Egg has a gorgeous dark woods brown patina and has a little weight to it. Just a little thicker than the common egg plates. When found it had a couple of folds and creases and the digger had it repaired and verbal provenance is that the plate was never cracked or broke and was excavated in Tullahoma, Tn. where Braggs Army Of Tennessee winter quartered in 1863. Also a generous amount of solder and the Telegrapher wire for the attachment frog still remains.
