Gettysburg PA McAllister's Mill Dug Civil War Relic Sharps Bullet Rosensteel

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 - MCALLISTER'S MILL / NEAR CULP'S HILL - THE ROSENSTEEL FAMILY COLLECTION -
Relic condition .54 Caliber Sharps Bullet which appears to have been dropped, and was possibly chewed by an animal
This relic condition .54 Caliber Sharps Bullet which appears to have been dropped, and was possibly chewed by an animal
, was found near McAllister's Mill at Gettysburg. McAllister's Mill, which sat on Rock Creek, was at the far right of the Union line just south of Culp's Hill. This area is very difficult to get to, and the foundation ruins of the Mill are barely visible today.
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!
