#6734 - Old Gettysburg Relic Souvenir Desk Set
A matter of interest. Soldiers and their relatives returned to Gettysburg Battlefield for almost sixty years afterward. Many wanted war relics from the site as momentos. Local businesses sold desk sets to them like these wooden bases shown. There were often small solid grape shot, buttons and bullets included. On bigger sets, a buckle of brass kepi insignia were added. Depending upon their size, complexity and labeling, these old relic displays command a price in the low- to high-hundreds of dollars now.
