These are a few of the items I have filling my walls, from time to time I will post a few of them. Hope you enjoy these, I know I do.
VERY cool stuff! I was just looking a few days ago at a few of the pictures you have up showing some of your stuff and I was about to ask for some close ups.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure about number 2 being for a reunion in Lexington? The reason I ask is because it says "Louisville" on it. (Being my "new" hometown I find that really interesting and appreciate you posting it here!)
Any cool stories about when/where you acquired these?
Thanks for sharing!
Pretty observant you are, I have another one from Lexington which I was looking at when I put these up. Alot of my stuff comes from collectors, If I see something I like on ebay , Ill go after it. But usually they come from people who are in the business of selling civil War items.
