Pecan is native to the Southern climate and will not survive the colder growing season of Yankee Land) We are pleased to offer a no questions asked three day inspection with return as purchased on direct sales!    $1795.00

	quality CIVIL WAR era AMERICANA: early post Civil War - FAYETTEVILLE N.C. SOUVENIR CANNON The popularity of battlefield visits as a feature of reunions created a natural market for souvenirs that enterprising veterans couldn’t ignore. Local veterans soon discovered that trinkets such as walking sticks, desk displays and the like fashioned of wood harvested from battlefield sites were easy sales to returning veterans. This neat little wooden cannon is just such a piece. By necessity, made in limited quantities, these relics of Civil War sites have become quite collectable with the earlier crude examples of individual craftsmanship the most desirable. This example is rather crudely fashioned from raw wood and measures approximately 6 inches in total length with ’ Fayetteville N. C.’ burned into the length of the cannon tube.     $65.00

	quality CIVIL WAR era AMERICANA: earlier 19tyh century through Civil War - SHIP’S TABLE LAMP Standing approximately 6 inches with a rich dark patina reflecting it’s age and the burning of whale or coal oil, this classic gimbal mounted lamp remains complete even to it’s early double wick, whale oil burner. The classic spun brass burner with it’s heavy figural cast brass mount sits atop a heavily weighted spun brass base all with the intent of stability in the pitch & sway environment of a ship’s table or desk. (The core of it’s heavy iron base was cast so as to accommodate peg or hook wall mounting.) While we located this scarce lighting fixture illustrated in Civil War vintage catalogues of Russell and Erwin Mfg. of New Britain, Conn. we would expect production earlier of Hardware & Lighting catalogues would place the manufacture of this design back to at least the 1830’s. The Russell and Erwin Mfg. reference we found refers to this fixture as a SHIP LAMP or brass double swinging lamp with the notation also used on trains. An outstanding piece of lighting Americana!

REQUISION Printed for the use of the Confederate military on a single 7.75 X 9.75 sheet of blue paper, this form [No. 38.] is a Requisition for Stationery. This official Confederate requisition form offers preprinted columns for the procurement of such writing equipment as Letter Paper, Envelopes, Sealing Wax, Steel Pens, Pen Holders and Bottles of Ink.
