Lawguns Posted May 3, 2017 Share #1 Posted May 3, 2017 I am not ready to tell this yet, but I thought I would post the picture of this collection. Dog tag, picture, GAR medal, Masonic paperwork, engraved plate (maybe for business cards) and a soldiers "ticket" from New Hampshire. All names items have he name, Edwin s Burnham. I am still researching the name and the ballot. Any info that anyone has would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M24 Chaffee Posted May 6, 2017 Share #4 Posted May 6, 2017 Very cool grouping and great info from USdog! Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawguns Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted May 6, 2017 Yes, it's so nice to have a great group of people that will help ID items. Once I figure out the value I will end up placing this up for sale. But it might end up being an auction item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
