He did not survive the war. The north and south both had regiments of these fighters.There is a lot of interesting history about these famous troops. They often traveled with a woman in uniform who attended to the wounded.......... The image is fixed permanently on glass......
Laminated as it were on the glass..... Flue covers sometimes were mounted in this same manner....... It will fit into any standard sized frame.........
Note the unusual rifle on the floor..... It is all inlaid with silver..... The short sword crosses with his pistol in the belt sash that is around his waist..... And his fez hat is decorated too..... HOW BIZARRE that there is a Turkish water pipe / hookah sitting on the floor....... Perhaps a more user friendly group of fighting men......Not much more that i can tell from here....... This image comes from Indiana....... But i can not identify the soldier who is pictured....... I have seen the prices on these , but i do not need to start my image so very high...... (in honor of the hookah).....
My brother will pack it well..... For taking the time to search out this listing........ My family and i appreciate how valuable TIME really is as we get older.
MOST things we sell are of an antique or at least older nature..... There may be a ding here and there , or a scratch as denotes something 50 or 100 years of age...... Please consider that when looking at my pictures....... We stand behind everything that we sell......
Our MOM is often seen in the gallery photos showing the proportional size of some the items we have listed....... 91 , and is usually busy helping us. The Hollywood actor James Dean is from Fairmount & we have a pair of fine museums with lots of his movie related items. While we have recently closed our brick & mortar store......
We are always glad to hold things here for you, till you can drive by and pick the items up in person , art or furniture....... They can remain here , warm and dry.......... Safe and sound till you can come for them......
And sometimes to fragile or delicate..... We specialize in glass , oil paintings , and art pottery.......... And some flea market junque on hand as well...... Usually the post office and sometimes ups......
It simply depends on where you live...... A toy or a tool.... Something for the bathroom , or a children's book , whatever..... But all items will STILL BE insured by us , as we will pay for it on our end....... And again , all packing materials , wrapping tissue , paper , bubble wrap and boxes are free.......
We re-cycle almost everything anyway and my brother Jon gets about 98% or 99% of his packages delivered to the customer in perfect condition......... " having said that , UPS once broke our cast iron kitchen skillet "....... Thank you again for taking the time to visit this listing.... Best wishes and good luck in all of your searches.....
