Description: Original 1857 “The State Bank South Carolina” issued from Charleston, South Carolina. The note is hand signed and inscribed with the serial number “961”. Pre 1861 dated notes like this were still in use during the Civil War. The note was engraved by “Bald, Adams & Co. New York” and “Bald, Conland & Co., Phila.” The artifacts were recovered from the Fredericksburg, Virginia battlefields. They are typical of what would have been carried at the Battle of Fort Sumter. The lead ammunition at left are all Federal issue; a .58 Williams Cleaner, a .52 Sharps carbine generally used by the cavalry branch of service and a .58 round for the Springfield rifle or other imported arms of that caliber. The lead ammunition at right are; a .69 Musket ball used by both sides, a Federal issue for the .52 Spencer carbine and a Confederate issue .57 Enfield. The Spencer used a brass cartridge the others used a paper cartridge which has not survived in the ground. The white color or patina is due to oxidation in the ground. The Battle of Fort Sumter (April 12–13, 1861) was the bombardment of Fort Sumter near Charleston, South Carolina by the South Carolina militia (the Confederate Army did not yet exist), and the return gunfire and subsequent surrender by the United States Army, that started the Civil War. The battle scene was reprinted from a hand colored lithograph done in the 1880’s. The hand made solid Walnut frame is 12” x 16” (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. 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.
