Below is a partial List of missing items from Gettysburg Civil War show. The missing box was the last one packed up and then it just disappeared into thin air so it seems. A Dell keyboard box contained the items. This box was in a Canon (or another brand) scanner box with a small plastic handle, making it easier for me to handle with my handicap.
Signed photo, John Mosby, on a print done in the early 20th century from an 1866 photo. With the foxing and spotting and position of the autograph in relation to the picture, it is unique. (picture)
Pictures of framed painting of lady friend of Mosby’s sister who was the consignor’s great grandmother.
Progress Extra Broadside, about 6x9 inches, 1865, printed by the Raleigh Daily Progress talking about the march home, accompanied by a letter written by Stanley Bell, 174th Ohio Infantry, talking about the march home; undoubtedly sent the broadside home in his letter. Unique with the particular configuration of age spots. (picture)
