    Description

    We are working as partners in conjunction with Gettysburg Relics to offer some very nice American Civil War relics for sale.
    THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG - FOUND ON SEMINARY RIDGE NEAR THE VIRGINIA MEMORIAL (Found on the eastern slope of Seminary Ridge, reportedly Just 300 yards South of the Virginia Memorial
    in the woods on the North side of the road (presumably Confederate Avenue) in a stream. This is a CS position) - ROSENSTEEL FAMILY - A small iron Artillery Shell nose fragment measuring 2" by 1 1/2" by 7/8" thick and weighs about 4.6 ounces
    This small Artillery Shell nose fragment
    (
    measures 2" by 1 1/2" by 7/8" thick
    , and weighs 4.6 ounces) was recovered on the east side of Seminary Ridge a short distance south of the Virginia Memorial.
    Specifically, it was recorded as having been  found on the eastern slope of Seminary Ridge, Just 300 yards South of the Virginia Memorial
    in the woods on the North side of the road (presumably Confederate Avenue) in a stream
    . This artifact was a part of the collection of Iva Rosensteel (Born in 1887 and died in 1964), sister of George Rosensteel (founder of the Gettysburg National Museum and the famous Electric Map) so the provenance could not be better. This is the first time that this artifact is being offered for public sale and I feel very privileged in the opportunity to offer it. The Rosensteels were, of course, the most famous artifact collecting family in Gettysburg and the bulk of the relics on display at today's Gettysburg National Park Visitor Center come from the Rosensteels. A provenance letter will be provided with this relic.
    Thank you for viewing!
