Title: Richmond Relic Show (7/16/2016 thru 7/17/2017)
Post by: CarlS on July 10, 2016, 11:19:43 AM: Hello,

Wanted to pass along a reminder that the NSTCW relic show is this coming weekend. Details at:
http://www.nstcivilwar.com/cgi-bin/show.asp
Advertised as 500 tables and in a great location. Always lots of good relics. Bullet and Shell will have a couple tables loaded with stuff to make you drool! I'm sure quite a few other collector/dealers among our ranks will be there as well. Hope to see you there.

As always, any drilling or cleaning needed this is a good time to drop them off.

Post by: Pete George on July 11, 2016, 10:05:32 PM: I will be there on Saturday, all day. But I won't have a sales-table this year, due to Cataract Removal surgery on Thursday... which means I won't be able to see well enough to drive. So our fellow forumite Brother Dan (6lbgun) will be picking me up for the show, and I expect we'll spend a lot of time hanging around the artillery shell tables of Carl-&-Mike and Dave Kornely, whose tables are usually located adjacent to each other at this show. Please stop by and introduce yourselves with your forum posting-name. :)

Regards,
Pete

Post by: emike123 on July 19, 2016, 11:54:26 AM: Show was excellent. Great to see folks like Carl, Pete, David x 3, and others. Arrived home safely last night. Picked up a Dahlgren boat howitzer on the return trip. Here is Jim T who helped get it loaded up for the cross country trip. I made a lot of friends en route photographing it out of passing vehicles and at every gas stop along the way!

I will post clearer pictures later.

Post by: Pete George on July 20, 2016, 11:05:59 PM: Dave S., where did you get that E.P. Alexander quote from? I'd very much like to know the context in which he said/wrote it.

Thanks in advance,
Pete

Post by: Daveslem on July 20, 2016, 11:40:59 PM: It's just a joke, Pete. A takeoff from the movie, The Edge, where Anthony Hopkins tells Alec Baldwin, "Never feel sorry for a man who owns an airplane."

Post by: John M. Brooke on July 21, 2016, 12:48:33 AM: Very Cool ! Mike, it seems to me that an original surviving field carriage is even more impressive than the howitzer itself! Correct me if
I am wrong but most, if not all the carriages were burned after the war. I would think any carriage made of wrought iron would be rusted into oblivion by now. What is the difference in value with an original carriage vs a repro?

Post by: John M. Brooke on July 23, 2016, 10:36:03 AM: Steve Sylvia should do the price guide that way.

Condition- Price-

Poor- Not much
Fair- A little
Good- Not a bunch
Great- A bunch
Excellent- A whole bunch

;D
