us10/ U. S. Cartridge Box Plate

$*SOLD* D.B

Local digger found this box plate with the iron attachment loops missing on the back of plate and the soldier must have been a little fond of this one as he punched holes in it too keep it in service or us it as a hut door ornament.. It has a nice woods brown patina and still retains 90% of the lead back. This was found in the Indiana and Illinois winter camp in Normandy, TN. -1863

us9/ Federal Sword Belt Plate

$140.00***SOLD***B.A

This was a bonus for the diggers digging out a trash and fire pit in a confederate camp near Wartrace, TN. After digging several square nails, charred glass and a few underwear buttons and porcelain buttons this popped out of the side of the pit. You can see a small hole in the plate where it was in a fire but still has good detail!

us8/ U.S. Cartridge Box Plate

$145.00

This box plate has nice visual appeal to it with a lustrous chocolate patina with nice rim and no dents or nicks. The lead back is complete with both wire loops . After I purchased this from the digger with a group of other relics I noticed that one belt loop has been replaced and reattached (BUT) it is still one nice relic from Stones River! I am selling this at my cost.
