Description: Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Original hand signed 1863 “Five Dollars” Confederate note with a picture of the Virginia State Capitol in the center. In the lower right corner of the note is a picture of C.G. Memminger. The hand inscribed serial number is “??168”. Black ink was used on the front and blue ink on the back. There were about 200 different people who signed for each treasury official. For the most part they were women, many the wives or daughters of Confederate soldiers who had been killed in action. The original lead bullets were excavated from the Chancellorsville Battlefield near Fredericksburg, Virginia. They were all made in iron molds and would have used a paper cartridge. The .58 rifle was issued for the Springfield rifle and along with the .52 Sharps were Federal issue. The .44 Colt and .69 musket ball could have used by either side. The white patina is due to oxidation in the ground. The hand made solid Poplar frame with distressed milk paint finish is 9” x 12” (glass) in size. All of the frame and display work was done in our cabinet shop here in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The frame is ready to hang. The wire is recessed which allows the frame to rest flat back to the wall as in a museum mount. The “bumpons” on each back corner protect the wall and keep the frame level. The back of the frame, which doesn’t show, has some brush strokes from the second coat of paint. All of the artifacts are guaranteed to be original as stated. A hand signed and dated “Certificate of Authenticity” will be issued by Collectors Frame with a photograph and description of the items purchased. Please see our "About” for more information on the framing and artifacts.
