Product Description

Here is a grouping of miscellaneous objects that were dug from the site of an old house that stood fairly close to the Brandy Station battlefield in Culpeper County, Virginia. Since the Battle of Brandy Station only lasted for 14 hours or so, it is hard to tell if any of these are authentic Civil War artifacts or just civilian artifacts of the Civil War era. Some of them may be post Civil War, as the house stood until the mid 1930's. This grouping consists of an iron hook, a large spike, a box or trunk lock escutcheon, part of a pocket watch, pottery chards, an ornate dome-shaped finial backing plate or escutcheon, a large penny or Large Cent that has 15 hand-stamped "pocks" around a central hole, probably some sort of tally-keeper, and a very nice old thimble as well as some odds and ends. These relics would make a very nice, inexpensive, tabletop display.
