| UCV Ribbon From Sterling Price Camp in Dallas, Texas. |
|
| NEW !
Ok, Trans-Mississippi Rebels, here's a nice one from Texas, with a
strong Missouri connection ! It's a very nice, United Confederate
Veteran's Ribbon from Dallas, Texas, Camp No. 31, the "Sterling
Price Camp !" I doubt that the Commander of the Missouri State
Guard needs any description, so I'll skip the Sterling Price history !
Ribbon is a brilliant red color, with dark black print that reads,
"Sterling Price Camp - No. 31 - Dallas, Texas, U.C.V. "
It measures 10.75 inches long by 1.5 inches wide, and with the
exception of a few minor wrinkles, is still in beautiful condition !
Better yet, this ribbon was once the property of James Edward
Payne, 1st Sergeant of Co. A, 6th Missouri Infantry, part of Price's
Command ! Post War, Payne resided in Dallas, Texas, and at one
time had become the Commander of the Texas Division, of the
UCV. Also have a photocopy of a 1900's Dallas Newspaper, with
an article about Payne & wife celebrating their 59th wedding
anniversary, that comes with the ribbon. I got these items from a
resident of Dallas, Texas, and have no doubt about ANY of the
information. If you been looking for a nice Trans-Mississippi
UCV item, or Missouri UCV item, or a Texas UCV item, this
one will fit the description, and display beautifully !

otherwise. A great displaying, and not very common pinback, from

| Celluloid Confederate Battle Flag Pinback |
|
| NEW !
Here is an absolutely beautiful Confederate Veterans, Celluloid
Pinback, with the Confederate Battle Flag on it ! This great pinback
measures 1.25 inches in diameter, with original stick pin still intact.
The battleflag device on the front is perfect, still retaining good colors
and 100% of it's glossy finish, with no cracking whatsoever ! The
original manufacturer's paper label is also present inside the back of
the button, showing it was made by the Pettibone Bros. in Cincinnatti.
I tried repeatedly, but could not photograph this to actually show the
full clear gloss, and excellent colors on the face. I will simply have to
say, it is even better in person than my image conveys ! Just great
condition for an item that you know, was worn for Confederate
Reunions or Parades around the turn of the century ! Will display
great in a UCV collection, or be a nice beginning to one !

| ID'D LADDER BADGE - 19th Iowa Infantry - Fought at Prairie Grove, Arkansas |
|
|
This is a real nice, ID'd western pattern ladder badge, for Private
Charles N. McKinzie, Co. C, 19th Iowa Infantry.The 19th was
organized at Keokuk, Iowa, and mustered in August 17th - 28th,
1862. During their service the 19th Iowa pariticipated in the battles
of Prairie Grove, Vicksburg, the Yazoo Expedition, Stirling Farm,
and Spanish Fort, as well as numerous smaller engagements. At the
Battle of Prairie Grove, Arkansas, on December 7th, 1862, they
suffered the highest casualties of any Union regiment on the field.
In repeated attempts to take a Confederate Battery near the
Borden House, their total killed, wounded, and missing numbered
193, out of approximately 500 present for duty. McKenzie is in
CivilWarData as Charles M. McKenzie, and the Soldiers &
Sailors System, as Charles M. and alternate Charles N. He had
his badge made with the spelling of McKinzie. But, there was only
one McKenzie/McKinzie in Co. C, and this is positively his Badge.
Top bar reads, "C.N. McKinize", and shield shaped drop reads,
"Co. C, 19th , Iowa , V. , Inf." with a canteen with US on it, under
that. Back of the drop has "J.S. Ginger, Sole Agent, St. Louis"
stamped at the top, and near the bottom, "Trebus & Steiner,
St. Louis." Pinback is intact and strong. Also included is a modern
copy of McKenzie's photo, from a large 1883 Reunion Image at
the Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park. An excellent ID'd Badge
from a Trans-Mississippi unit that you rarely see artifacts from,
and one that fought at the Battle of Prairie Grove, Arkansas.

| Nice MOH Style Early GAR Membership Badge |
|
| Here is a very nice condition, early Grand Army of The Republic Membership Badge. This is the Type III, first issued in 1869, and marked with that patent on the back, bottom edges of the Star Drop. Exact mark reads, "Patent" down the left edge, and "Dec. 28, 1869" down the right edge. This pattern with the upraised wings, was only used from 1870 to 1876, when it was dropped, and the eagle top bar was changed. This eagle was nearly identical to the eagle bar on the Medal Of Honor, and historians say that was in large part, the reason it was changed. This pattern is rare and you will see dozens of the standard later issue pattern, to one of these. Appears ribbon has been replaced at some point, but looks correct, and well done. A quite rare pattern of the GAR Membership Badge, that will highlight your Grand Army collection.

| Missouri GAR Veteran w/Membership Badge Cabinet Card |

| Here's a nice old Cabinet Card with a Missouri GAR Veteran !
Card measures approximately 4 x 6 inches, and in very good shape
except for some staining along lower left edge of the mount. All edges
have an unusual but nice, krinkle-cut pattern. Bottom of mount shows
photographer's stamp of Tinsman, a supplier's mark of Atelier, and
the location of Kirksville, Missouri . Subject is a bearded Union Vet,
with nice vest and coat, and prominently displayed Grand Army of
the Republic, GAR Member Badge ! Although the subject is unknown,
the photographer was John W. Tinsman, a Union Veteran himself and
former member of the 7th Missouri Cavalry, US ! A long time resident
of Kirksville, Tinsman eventually became mayor. Staining does not
affect the Vet's Image at all, which has good contrast. A real nice
image of a seasoned GAR Veteran, from the rarely seen State of
Missouri !
