| I have known Ann & C.W. Webb for 25 years. Until he passed away a few years ago, C.W. and I used to Display Civil War Artifacts at the Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park Museum. Though my collection and C.W.s were mostly military related, Ann always collected Civil War Period Civilian Items, including Jewelry, Eye Glasses, Dental Tools, and much more. So, a few years ago, she and I started displaying at the Park once a month in the Summer months, and had great fun. She also collects Cdvs and Period Cookware, and sometimes brings those items to display. I think we both enjoy showing interested visitors our artifacts and explaining their purpose. |

| " For several days and nights we continued to fortify our stomachs with whisky, not always good, and fresh oysters, and became more extensively initiated into the mysteries of the city. It might be said we were on a pretty heavy bender - but where is the Missouri soldier that went to Mobile on furlough, that did not "go it" as long as his money lasted." - Private Ephraim McDowell Anderson, Co. G, 2nd Missouri Infantry, First Missouri Brigade, C.S.A. - On Furlough to Mobile, Alabama - Christmas, 1862 - From the book, " Memoirs Historical And Personal Including the Campaigns of the First Missouri Confederate Brigade" - Edited by Ed Bearss |

| Superb Example of the Classic Confederate Tin Drum Canteen w/All Three Sling Loops & Tall Spout |
 |
| Superb Example of the Classic Confederate Tin Drum Canteen w/All Three Sling Loops & Tall Spout |
|
| Here's an Excellent Example of the Classic Confederate Tin Drum Canteen ! All the metal wears a mostly smooth chocolate brown patina, with no pushes, or dents, though there are a couple small areas of moderate surface rust. All three sling loops and the tin spout are still present in good order, and the all soldered construction is apparent. There is a nearly identical canteen pictured in the book, Civil War Canteens, including the measurements and the extra tall spout. This is Just a SUPER example of the Confederate Tin Drum Canteen that Displays Great ! The link at left goes to Mess Equipment !

| Here is A Fine CS186 Confederate Block -I- Infantry Button w/Stars ! It has a mostly smooth, green patina that gives it a great look, with no pushes, cracks, or damage. The reverse shows an original intact tinback and shank, and many of the stars are easily visible, including one on the -I- device. Give it a look as it definitely displays better than most.
