The Sherfy Farm and its famous Peach Orchard were immortalized as a focal point of some of the most desperate and dramatic fighting during the final two days of the Battle of Gettysburg.
Offered here is an artillery vent pick or gimlet, recovered in a relic condition on the Sherfy Property when still legal to do so. It measures 4.4” in overall length with heavy iron pitting and characteristic erosion, wear, and oxidation across the brass t-handle (2.4” but originally 2.5”+). The artifact has been coated with a protective clear finish to prevent further deterioration.
An interesting and uncommon relic from Gettysburg, with an excellent recovery location. [cm][ph:L]
