Excavated at the Slyder Farm, near the Round Tops
From the famous Rosensteel Gettysburg collection
Brass cap box finial, that measures 3/4 inches in length. It was recovered on the Slyder Farm, on the Gettysburg Battlefield, by the late Gettysburg relic hunter John Cullison, who excavated Civil War artifacts at Gettysburg from 1935-1959. Mr. Cullison passed it on to the famous Rosensteel family of Gettysburg where it remained in their private collection until it was released in 1996. Popular Gettysburg relic.
WBTS Trivia: The 75 acre John Slyder farm was located on the western side of Big Round Top, just down from Plum Run, and a short distance from Devil's Den. As the battle of Gettysburg passed through Slyder's property, the house, barn, and outbuildings were used as field hospitals for medical treatment of both Rebel and Yankee soldiers alike! |
