Jamestown Commemorative Fob.
The Jamestown Exposition was one of several world's fairs held around the turn of the last century, taking place at
Sewell's Point, Virginia, from April 26 to December 1, 1907. Virtually every congressman attended,
and Mark Twain attended twice. Once, he introduced Rear Admiral Purnell Harrington, former
Commandant of the Norfolk Navy Yard. Later, on Robert Fulton Day, he filled in for former
President Grover Cleveland. This medallion features the word "Jamestown" running diagonally
across it. "Norfolk, VA" is near the top and "Exposition 1907" is near the bottom. Scenes from
Jamestown fill the rest of the front. The reverse reads, "Schwab Sfs Co./ Milwaukee." This beautiful, excavated
silver-plated copper fob comes displayed in a Sgt. Riker case.

Appomattox Telegraph Key.
The telegraph-sending key and the related items shown here
were recovered near Appomattox Court House, across the
road from Lee's Headquarters a few years ago by a digger who was detecting
on land then owned by his aunt. The device is of the "camelback" variety,
which saw use between 1848 and 1860. Given the location of discovery, immediately
adjacent to Lee's last ever headquarters, and the manufacturing characteristics;
this must surely be among the last of the telegraph keys used by the Army of Northern Virginia.
This artifact and article were published in North South Trader's Civil War magazine Vol. 32 No. 1/2006
and the details of this excavation can be found by clicking here.
(Please, this is a museum piece and any reasonable offer will be considered.)

Rare and unusual Wax Seal.
This one piece artifact is both a button and a wax seal with Colonial
Spanish markings. Upon stamping the image in wax, I was

is indeed a rare and unusual piece. It was excavated in 2008 in Virginia and is
slightly smaller than a quarter.
