CONFEDERATE, STATE & BANK OBSOLETE CURRENCY

Obsolete notes are a very desirable collectible; they sell very quickly. Whereas we once had a large selection of obsoletes, our inventory has been sold to near depletion. We do expect to acquire a small collection in the near future.

WOOD AND COAL BURNING STOVES & HEATERS

With the approach of winter you may want to consider the addition of a wood or coal burning cast iron stove or heater to your abode. Cook on one, or merely use it for heating your home or cabin. We have several.

We also have several electric and gas-fired space heaters at reduced prices.

This old wheelchair is in remarkably good condition. Everything works, and the cane seat and back are near perfect. See it on the second floor. 

REMINGTON ARMS AMMUNITION/GUN/FIREARMS COLLECTIBLE

If you are into firearm collectibles, this may be one you can't resist. It's a 1970s case which was used for the sale of Remington ammunition at Gore's Hardware Co. here in Vicksburg. It's in very good condition and very heavy. The sliding glass fronts are all intact (glass fronts are not shown in this photo - they are lying inside on a shelf). Included are a couple of 1970s price lists for Remington ammo. The prices are quite a bit different from what we see today. Priced at only $150.00, the case is sure to enhance any firearm enthusiast's collection.

VINTAGE SOAPBOX DERBY RACE CAR

Whoever built the "Claustrophobia" (it was found in an old house here in Vicksburg) picked the right name for it, and did one heck of a job constructing it. Once it's given a push, it won't stop. It's that fast - "greased lightning," I think, is the appropriate term. The wheel bearings have grease fittings; the steel frame is practically indestructible. The builder placed the steering and brake "sticks" on either side of the seat, which is tilted toward the rear so that the driver is positioned semi-prone. A dark plexiglas windshield allows the driver to steer this sleek machine. He is fitted into a tight, dark, claustrophobic atmosphere, thus the machine's name. This vintage race car can be seen on the second floor. Asking price: $1,500.

CIVIL WAR GRAPE & CANNISTER 6 & 12 POUNDER

Just dug from a hillside beside the Yazoo River, where Confederate forces were holding Porter's flotilla of ironclads at bay. These grape and canister shot range from approximately 1 1/4" to approximately 2 1/8" diameter and were probably fired from 6 and 12 pounder smoothbores.

While they last they can be bought for $12.00 (large) and $6.00 (small) (plus shipping if required). Come by the store, or to order by mail call me at 601-618-7478, or email 717antiques@gmail.com.
