Gettysburg Civil War Relic Rosensteel Artillery Shell Dug S of Virginia Monument

Description: Please visit our eBay store for a complete list of in-stock Civil War relics organized by recovery location. 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 on eBay. The Rosensteel collection of artifacts are not recent recoveries, and pre-date the 1960s. The park still owns the majority of relics from the Rosensteel Family. We do not have many pieces left from this grouping. THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA - A RARE AND SPECIFIC LOCATION - FOUND ON SEMINARY RIDGE NEAR THE VIRGINIA MEMORIAL - (Found over 60 years ago 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) - FROM THE ROSENSTEEL FAMILY COLLECTION - A very nice Civil War relic iron artillery shell fragment from an exploded spherical artillery shell, measuring 2 7/8" by 2 3/4" with 3/4" thick wall, and weighing 11.3 ounces. We do not have many pieces left from this grouping. This Civil War artillery shell fragment was recovered over 60 years ago, 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. 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 buy or sell any items that were recovered illegally, nor will we sell any items that we suspect were recovered illegally. Thank you for viewing!
