Well Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  I hope the turkey and dressing is hot and the wine cooled down.  Our old friend civil-war-stuff has reappeared on Ebay.  He is currently selling a Winnie Davis/R.E. Lee pinback that he "thinks" the pin and the ribbon might be replaced!!!!  The whole badge is a modern reproduction.  Don't be fooled by this guy.  The Ebay number is 320451565373.  Have a great holiday.

Another great Civil War collector has fallen to the Grim Reaper.  Arthur Brewer of Durham, North Carolina passed on December 10, 2008.  You can see many of Arthur's collection in the early Civil War collectable books.  His early passion was bowie knifes but later his interest became UCV items.  Arthur was a member of the SCV and we wish his family our sympathy.  If you ever talked to Arthur he would always tell you to have "A Dixie Day".  We will miss Arthur.

It is with great sadness that I announce the death of Len Benson.  After a fight with cancer, Len died Saturday, December 27, 2008 at his home.   He died peacefullly and never suffered.  Len was a great Civil War dealer and we will miss him terribly.  You can read his obituary at earlefuneralhome.com.  The family has asked all memorials be sent to the Gettysburg Preservation Trust.  The funeral is Friday, January 2, 2009. 

 

BIG NEWS FROM THE VETERAN'S ATTIC!!!!!!!!

We have now completed our move to Franklin, Tennessee but are covered up in boxes! On top of everything, our local telephone, computer, and cable campany, Comcast, did everything they could to keep us from having access to our computer and phone.
