Spoon handle has light surface rust. Measures 3 ½” long. Item was originally displayed in the Shield’s Museum in Gettysburg.
Ott Shields amassed one of the earliest and well known collections of Gettysburg artifacts. In 1918, he opened a private museum that featured the “Shields Collection,” one of the few documented Gettysburg collections obtained by local families (Rosensteel; Danner; Wert; Mumper; Ziegler, etc.). The Shields Museum closed in the 1980s and the collection was sold at auction on November 16, 1985. Offering over 600 lots “comprised mostly of Gettysburg battlefield pick-up relics,” the auction attracted several hundred Civil War collectors, dealers, and museum buyers. [sm]
