    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 PA- Culp's Hill- THE ROSENSTEEL FAMILY COLLECTION - A Relic condition Iron Fragment from an
    Artillery Shell
    (measures about 3" by 2" and about 3/8" thick and weighs 6.2 ounces)
    This
    relic condition fragment from an Artillery Shell
    (it measures about 3" by 2" and about 3/8" thick and weighs 6.2 ounces). was found on Culp's Hill. This artifact was a part of the collection of Iva Rosensteel-Rider (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!
