Civil War Era Dominoes - brass, bone & ebony - by hand Here are four hand made dominoes that date back to the time of the Civil War. Dominoes was one of the favorite games played by soldiers of both armies, on the rare occasions the men had time to play games. Hand made using bone for the tops, ebony for the dark bottoms and a brass pin through the center to hold to two halves together. I've placed four dominoes in a small display case, which I think makes a real nice and very unusual gift.

Civil War Era Pig Skin Eye Patch - Hand Made Well here's a piece you don't see every day. My best assessment of this odd looking item is that it was once worn as an eye patch by someone who had either made it or had it made for them, out of what seems to be a piece of tanned pig skin. I fully believe this patch once was worn by a veteran of the Civil War. I have reached this conclusion because the patch was amoung a great many old medals and other souveniers that date to a 1915 reunion of Civil War veterans and their families at Gettysburg. Judge for yourself. I think its pretty cool.

Old Fork with a Bone Handle and brass pins - Civil War Well I wouldn't be in a hurry to eat with it, but this sure is an interesting old fork. It is of the type associated with the time period surrounding our Civil War and came to us along with enough other Civil War period artifacts to lend weight to this assessment. The fork measures 6 and 1/2 inches long and has a hand carved handle covering made of bone and held in place by three brass pins. Nice addition to a Civil War display.
