sweet items , especially the gimlet a very neat piece . thumbsup01 and the small case with the stamp is in remarkable condition. :clapping:
 
The case with the stamp was bought at a yard sale. I got the case home and lifted the picture to see if there was a name and found two 1864 three cent telegraph stamps. I found the two bullets in Perryville and purchased the two coins from 1864 to fill out the 1864 case.

Beautiful finds. Lots of camp lead I see. Great looking picture and the stamps are early in our postal days. Some nice finds. Makes me wanna get out there right now in the freezing rain :bangshead02:
 
:yes: Thanks so much for sharing- your stuff is awesome! I love the 1864 case, very creative- great story about the yard sale. The old antique store is really neat.. I want to go inside next time we're driving by! Wonder if he's open on Saturdays?
