Antietam Civil War Era Relic Dug Large Number # 3 Cow Cattle Ear Neck Chain Tag

Description: Please visit our eBay store for a complete list of in-stock Civil War relics organized by recovery location. We are working as partners in conjunction with Gettysburg Relics to offer some very nice American Civil War relics for sale. The owner of Gettysburg Relics was the proprietor of Artifact at 777 on Cemetery Hill in Gettysburg for a number of years, and we are now selling on eBay. THE BATTLE OF ANTIETAM ~ This Civil War era (or later) relic, a very nice dug large brass # Number 3 double-sided Cow Cattle Neck Chain Tag (people refer to these as ear tags but there is no way cattle owners were sticking these through their cow's ears, but rather they were linked through a chain and worn suspended about the neck), was identified as having been recovered at Antietam in Maryland. This tag is heavy-duty, weighing 2.1 ounces and measures 2 7/8" by 1 7/8". This artifact was a part of a Antietam area relic hunter's collection that was sold at auction in Maryland in June of 2011. Although the relics were identified as Antietam, unfortunately, no specific find locations were given. A provenance letter will be included. All of the collections that we are offering for sale are guaranteed to be authentic, and are either older recoveries, found before the 1960s when it was still legal to metal detect battlefields, or were recovered on private property with permission. Land on Battlefields that is now Federally owned, or owned by the Trust, was acquired after the relics were recovered. We will not buy or sell any items that were recovered illegally, nor will we sell any items that we suspect were recovered illegally. Thank you for viewing!
