Mac and me
« on: October 31, 2016, 01:58:05 AM »
Latest pickups from the Gettysburg show. I really like the assortment of drum relics. Their condition is crazy. You can still turn the nuts and flex joints due to being made of brass.

That's a fantastic piece of Civil War history with a rock solid provenance.  Congratulations!

Really neat relics in their own right made all the better with the coveted markings.  Congratulations.
Best,
Carl

Not as cool as your drum parts, but I think you'll like this one also:

At the Richmond Show 2 weeks ago, I noticed Herby was selling some of the forumite the late Jack Well's relics.  This Mac Mason marked piece caught my eye, but I think it may have been out of Herby's own, not Jack's, collection:
