Acquired in 2020 by a
prominent Gettysburg dealer in Civil War relics from a Connecticut estate. A very
desirable Danner Museum Whitworth Bolt with the distinct numbering, this one “18”.
Scarce example of an early Gettysburg
battlefield relic with provenance. The Danner Museum was the first to display
memorabilia from the Battle of Gettysburg, in operation from 1860s
-1890s. His museum was unique in that visitors could actually
purchase the displayed objects as souvenirs. Danner painted inventory numbers
on his displayed items, visible in the image cabinet card (NOT included), so he
could easily replace items as they were sold.
Bottom photograph is the Connecticut estate group on display at the October 2020 Gettysburg Show. See this Whitworth shell back row. Also see #363 Hotchkiss from the same collection.

MOLLUS/GAR Museum. The museum originated with the Military
Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States (MOLLUS), a fraternal
association for veteran officers. The museum doors closed in 2008 with the
collection being transferred to the Gettysburg Foundation. A portion of the
collection was sold in 2021 with the proceeds to benefit the preservation of
the remaining relics.
In 1886, several
Companions of MOLLUS began the formation of a Civil War Library and Museum to
serve as a repository for their records, relics, memorabilia, souvenirs,
artifacts and awards. A charter and Certificate of Incorporation were granted
on May 2, 1888 for the War Library and Museum of the Military Order of the
Loyal Legion of the United States. Companion Rutherford B. Hayes,
19th President of the United States, was its first President. The collection
was kept in various locations in Philadelphia until a house was purchased at
1805 Pine Street in 1922 to house the collection and to serve as the MOLLUS
Headquarters.

Other markings: both the wooden base and shell
have the GAR museum inventory number 86.1.37; a paper GAR museum tag "139"
on the wood base; on the bottom of the wood base is a small penciled (?) “10”;
and shell has GAR Museum black painted “131” about one inch in height.
Danner shell sets with both the Danner marked wood
base and Danner numbered shell are not available often, vs. a marked base and unnumbered
shell, or a numbered shell and no base. Together since the beginning.
The "Railroad Cut" was located on the
First Day's Field where the Confederates took heavy casualties, and also
prisoners were taken. There are not as many 1st Day's Danner relics compared to
the 2nd and 3rd Days'.

#368 Gettysburg ‘CULP’S HILL 1863’ ‘Warlog’. Fresh
from the Philadelphia GAR Museum and Library. A sawed cross-section of tree
with an embedded bullet in untouched relic condition; scarring of tree visible
in the area of the bullet. Large relic, at its widest 9
½ inches and 2 inches thick. This section
includes the original brass plague screwed to its face ‘CULP’S HILL 1863’. Believe
the multiple drilled holes in the face were for early display reasons, possibly
an assortment of flags. A rare and historical relic, along with over an 100
year sheltered provenance. I visited this museum in the 1990s … it was an absolute
time capsule to history and the veterans that serviced.
