Curious if anyone has some thoughts/information on these items we just purchased from an estate of a civil war collector in Texas.
The bugle has 7A on it, Appears to be from around that era, I think... I couldn't find anything like it with those markings. (Officer's Bugle I believe)
The first plate has strange hooks in the back, they almost look like nails? I could not match it to any other plate as far as the back goes. Real or Copy?
The more decorative plate had some old (high) prices on it, so at least former dealers and the collector believed it was genuine. I think it is, but I could not find one designed like it anywhere at all.
If anyone has any thoughts on any of these items I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
