Years ago when we first started attending the larger Civil War shows in the South, enthusiastic diggerswould bring boxes filled with excavated treasures for sale or trade to fellow collectors. Now and again we would pick out a treasure that was of particular interest, usually something with a tag on it or a group of things of known origin, and bring our find back to Maine where it would ultimately get set aside in storage with our accumulation of stuff. This offering is just such an item. Our photos will do best to describe this interesting old blacksmith made horse bit except to advise that we acquired the relic over twenty years ago from a local Gettysburg digger/ collector who offered a number of neat horse related relics recovered from the famous battlefield. Now off limits to excavation, several of the things offered were from among relics recovered by local workmen preparing grounds for the July 1938 Gettysburg Great Reunion. The bit is offered just as it came to us with an old string tag preserving its’ origin. A neat original Battle of Gettysburg relic and remembrance of what was to be the last joint reunion of Union and Confederate veterans. Don't forget to give our search feature a try for special wants. A simple key word in lower case works best.
