As you can see, this original Civil War Artillery Shell Fragment makes for a perfect backdrop relic-display paperweight (total weight 5.3 oz). We have professionally attached/secured a .58 cal. minie ball bullet and Civil War flat button to the inside lining of the fragment. Both relics were dug in the history rich region of Appomattox, Va. - final resting place of all Civil War relics! These dug relics do a great job of preserving, commemorating and memorializing the end of the American Civil War when on April 9th, 1865 General Robert E Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia at the McLean House in the small village of the Appomattox, Va. court house.
We have many happy customers for our truly unique Civil War creations sold at Craft Shows and online venues. They take a lot of time to match up and create. All are guaranteed authentic Civil War relics, personally dug by us and fashioned together with the Civil War enthusiast in mind! Prices vary with relics used and time involved.
Use this heavy Hunk-Of-History on your desk as a novelty paperweight or maybe just set it on the book shelf as a neat conversation piece. Specialty adhesives and jewelry-making techniques have been used for a good strong, personally tested, lasting hold! These relics are in no way harmed or ruined and could be restored to their original state if you desired to do so. From an artistic approach, we even take the time to make sure the bonding adhesives blend well with the relics so there is no \"shiny\" adhesive spots to distract from its natural historical beauty. Upon receipt, some may want to further seal their relics (I leave this preference decision up to you). ALL RELICS WERE DUG ON PRIVATE PROPERTY WITH LAND OWNER\'S PERMISSION andCOME WITH A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY (COA).NOW GO AND HAVE SOME INSTRUCTIONAL FUN DISPLAYING A HEAVY-HUNK OF OUR U.S. HISTORY!
