This was recovered from Excelsior Field on the Gettysburg battlefield by local resident John Cullison, who excavated relics on the field from 1935-1959. Cullison sold his finds to the famed Gettysburg Rosensteel family, who held the primary collection of Gettysburg artifacts and ran the Electric Map Museum. [mc] [ph:L]
