  1. 2nd Lieutenant wearing a frock coat. Looks to be Civil War era— a photo of the entire photograph may help to confirm. scott
  2. Thanks much miller. scott
  3. You are talking apples and oranges. Original comic strip artwork is collectible and desirable (what you found online). It was artist drawn and then reproduced for inclusion in newspapers. ...

  13. Your guy is not a Union soldier. Not sure that he is wearing a uniform. Could just be a civilian coat. Don’t know that army did a lot of well digging. Certainly happened in some camps or more pe...
  14. Beautiful welz and a happy birthday!! scott
  15. Yes— it is a painted photograph. These were very popular in the late 19th century. scott
  16. These do fit the era. They are photographic— enlarged portraits that are typical from the 1870s- 90s. Often called charcoal portraits by collectors. scott
  17. Is the oval portion applied to the cardboard backer? Check near an edge— easiest spot to tell. scott
  18. Nice modern decorator piece. scott
  19. Love the wood on this. I don’t see significant age to it— the way the drawer is built also supports it being a newer piece. scott
  20. Beautiful welz! scott
  21. M1860 cavalry saber. You are correct— it is the earlier model, the m1840 that is known as the wrist breaker. Once you see them side by side or handle them, you will understand. scott
  22. Beautiful welz— thanks for sharing! scott
  23. Restrained/ appropriate cleaning— I have seen so many metal objects ruined with a metal cleaner (brass, ….) scott
  24. Modern, decorative piece. Several have been posted on this site. scott
  25. Wow!! Amazing detail and beautiful patina on it— glad no one cleaned it! scott
  26. The tanks rounds were 84mm. Poster measured this as 133mm. scott
  27. Item is sterling, not plate. Prices begin at melt and go from there. scott
  28. Not a grenade casing. It is a shell casing for a 20 pounder, mark 2. Believe that was a naval gun, based on size posted. It is trench art. The applied hat brass is nice— not sure on it as I am n...

  39. Thanks for looking kev and when. scott
  40. This is Japanese embroidery. They became popular in the 1890s and continued until about the 1940s. Most that I have seen were souvenirs of US Navy sailors. Yours is unusual in that a large photog...

  47. It is a fantasy item. These first started to appear on the collectors market in the 1970s and probably still made today. There are a myriad of styles/ designs. You can find a lot on this site— ...
  48. Agree reenactors. Probably more modern— based on gear, I’d say 1980s at the oldest. scott
  49. Amazing— a Welz decor in nature! scott
  50. Thanks much kiva! scott
