Description: Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 The original hand signed 1863 $1 “State of Alabama” note was issued from Montgomery, Alabama. The note was engraved by “Engr. by J.T. Paterson & Co. Augusta, Ga.”. It has a hand inscribed serial number “18780”. It was issued with a plain back; signature of the governor was engraved. The Governor is pictured at left. At bottom right is the first state seal designed in 1817 by William Wyatt Bibb, the governor of the Alabama Territory and the subsequent first governor of the state. When Alabama became a state in 1819, the state legislature adopted the design as the official state seal. The seal prominently features a map showing one of the state's most valuable resources—its major rivers. The map was shown affixed to a living tree, with no motto. The lead bullets were recovered from the Wilderness and Spotsylvania Battlefields near Fredericksburg, Virginia. They are typical of what would have been used at the Battle of Gettysburg. The lead ammunition at left are; a .44 Colt “Army” Model, 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 scene “Little Round Top” was reprinted from the artwork of Allen Christian Redwood. Born in Virginia, he joined Company C, 55th Virginia infantry with the outbreak of war. After the war he painted many of the scenes he had witnessed. His regiment was at the Battle of Gettysburg. 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.
