Gettysburg Relics

Since I began collecting Civil War relics as a young boy, I have always been interested in the provenance of the items that I purchased. Where an item was found, when it was found or who owned it have always been vital to my collecting interest. In my many years of collecting, I have taken great care to make sure that my relics had a proper ID and I try to identify all of the relics that I sell by location provenance. I am still an avid collector but realize that you have to sell in order to be able to buy! I also sell out of the Antique Center of Gettysburg, so stop by and take a look - now in four cases - #51, #52, #63 & 64!!!! There are always many things in my cases that are not on the website! New items added on May 13th!

A very nice pre-Civil War house for sale just a short distance from Gettysburg! Built in 1852 along the old Gettysburg - Chambersburg Pike, this Fayetteville house witnessed the passing of the Confederate Army as it made its way to Gettysburg on the road just beyond its porch! Constructed of brick with tall windows, which surely reflected the fact that the original owners were well-to-do, this beautiful house has its original refinished pine floorboards on the first floor, a grand fireplace in the living room, a kitchen fireplace, an attached summer kitchen, three porches, including one on the second floor, large bedrooms, and all of the charm that you would expect in an early home! The quiet grandeur of an earlier time is made more comfortable with new appliances, central air conditioning and furniture that reflects the age of the home (and may be included in the sale)! Sit on the front porch and enjoy the view of the mountains, walk around the corner to the Fayetteville Antique Mall or walk down the street just a short distance and look upon the farm field where Georgia soldiers guarded a side road while the main Confederate army passed (a friend found two nice Georgia buttons in this field a couple of years ago!)
