Description

We are working as partners in conjunction with Gettysburg Relics to offer some very nice American Civil War relics for sale. The owner of Gettysburg Relics was the proprietor of Artifact at 777 on Cemetery Hill in Gettysburg for a number of years, and we are now selling exclusively on eBay.
THE SEVEN DAYS BATTLES, VIRGINIA - FROM THE WILLIAM A. REGER COLLECTION - A relic condition Civil War soldier's 17mm tin trouser button (It has been carefully preserved - These don't typically survive very well under ground - Most likely off a pair of trousers, but could have come from shirt) Dug in 1968 on one of the 7 Days Battles battlefields in Virginia.
This button was dug in 1968 on one of the 7 Days Battles battlefields in Virginia. It was in a large Berks County, Pennsylvania collection of William A. Reger who carefully identified the relics that he found in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. He passed away in Reading, Pennsylvania in 2011.
The original type-writer typed tag in the photograph is
not
included as Reger only made one tag for the grouping, however a copy of the tag, as well as a provenance letter, will be included containing the specific information.
The 1862 Seven Days Battles marked the rise of Confederate General Robert E. Lee to prominence as his aggressive attacks against the forces of George McClellan, despite the fact that the Confederate Army was outnumbered, saved Richmond.
We include as much documentation with the relics as we possess. This includes copies of tags
if there are identification tags or maps, as well as a signed letter of provenance with the specific recovery information.
All of the collections that we are offering for sale are guaranteed to be authentic, and are either older recoveries, found before the 1960s when it was still legal to metal detect battlefields, or were recovered on private property with permission. Some land on Battlefields that is now Federally owned, or owned by the Trust, was acquired after the items were recovered. We will not sell any items that were recovered illegally, nor will we sell any items that we suspect were recovered illegally.
Thank you for viewing!
