I also have some antiques I'm tired of havin layin around and don't have a clue what to do with them or finding out a value. Some Civil War letters, a music box from the mid 1800's that plays cork rolls that I also have a few of, an old box radio that still works, and who knows what else.

 

I AM....I'll trade Doc for about $15,000,000 000.

 

Oh damn, I put 8 more decimals more than normal.

 

how much for the civl war letters and I'll think about it I have $22.00 I'll pay you
for 1

 

i too would be interested in the civil war letters and anything else you have from the civil war.

 

Hey how much for the 1800s music box

 

I don't have any clues as to what, if anything this stuff is worth to even know if it's worth sellin or just let it sit around as clutter/decor. That's what I'm hopin to be able to find out from someone. But if and when I do find out I'll be glad to post up the results.

 

Hey all, been out a town for a few days and now I'm back. Will take me a few ays to get things back together around the barn and get back to this, but I'll get some of this pulled out a storage and get some pictures and info out on it.

 

Got some of this stuff pulled out tonight. Wow, I didn't know what I was siitin on for some of this. I thought it was a couple of civil war letters. Turns out to be the whole wars worth of letters from one family to each other, along with a photo and a soldier handbook that he carried. Some other trinkets in the box also but that one stopped me in my tracks. A whole war time diary of history for this guy in letters to his family.

I also found the music box. As near as I can tell it works, but I'm not messin with to much here either. It looks to be in good shape, just dusty with 5 of what you called cob's with it. The newspaper they are rolled in is dated 1949, so that's probably the last time this thing was pulled out. It also has an advertising paper with it that calls it "The Wonderfull Home Music Box" It's from Standard Manufacturing Co. Prcing it at $6.00 and it list all the music available for it at the time.
