Lot 160:
Civil War-Era Bullet Fragment & Rusted Horseshoes
Description
This lot includes a black powder bullet fragment lodged in a piece of weathered wood, potentially indicative of Civil War-era provenance. Accompanied by two rusted, iron horseshoes showing significant age and patina. The bullet fragment is embedded firmly in the wood, with the metallic surface faintly visible through cracks in the aged material. The horseshoes display considerable surface deterioration consistent with long-term burial or exposure.
CONDITION: The bullet fragment is visibly lodged within the wooden piece, which exhibits natural splitting and weathering consistent with prolonged exposure to environmental elements. The two horseshoes exhibit heavy rust and surface pitting throughout, with no visible structural breaks but significant corrosion suggesting advanced age. None of the items in the lot show evident restoration or repair work.
