Stone Elbow Pipe (Neolithic) From Lord Collection: We all know Francis Lord was a legendary Civil War collector, but he also accumulated other pieces of history. One is this huge stone Indian Pipe. So how do you know it belonged to Dr. Lord? Included is the original box it was kept in, with a label of Francis Lord's pasted there, along with a sticky tag telling a bit about it.

Unfinished Augusta Revolver Hammer: This was found in Augusta, Georgia, leading me to believe it is part of one of the ultra rare Confederate pistols made there. It is square in cross section, having never been worked or drilled. A great piece of Confederate history. Iron has heavy pitting but has been electrolyzed.

MD544JAJJ

$25

Musket Mainspring With Field Repair: Neat! The soldier has jammed a wad of lead between the spring, probably to increase spring pressure on a worn out mainspring. A neat example of ingenuity on a near perfect mainspring! From South Mtn/Wilderness area.

Sutlers Token? Maybe so, maybe not. Has reeded edge so it was more than a tool tag or something. Slightly smaller than a quarter, one side is stamped "25" and "101" Other side is blank although it almost looks like there's something lightly engraved. Hard to say. It was found in a Union Camp near Beaufort, SC. Has top section missing, as per photo.
