Gettysburg Relics- Tree w/Bullets, Three Plates
<B>Gettysburg Relics.</B></I> First- a battle-scarred portion of a tree 15" x 6" that has been hit four times! Two round balls, one sharps carbine bullet, and what appears to be a small piece of shrapnel. The tag (modern) states "<I>Culps Hill Gettysberg, 1863 - This tree bears evidence of the heavy fighting on Culp's Hill July 2 and 3, 1863. It has been struck four times</B></I>". Wood has been varnished to preserve from flaking. <BR><BR>Secondly- three excavated plates: a U.S. box plate (no hooks), a breastplate (missing some lead) and a U.S. oval buckle (hooks present, missing some lead). All three plates are rough but have a pleasing green patina so common of Gettysburg area dug plates.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Large Collectibles (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
