scarce: Southern Patriotic - thermoplastic PHOTO CASE

NOTICE

********NOW OPERATING FROM OUR NEW HEADQUARTERS ********



Now fully operational from the beautiful Pacific North West, we encourage all to keep a close eye as we unpack posted offerings and continue what will be an ongoing effort of unpacking the collection while taking stock with an eye toward thinning out our accumulation of treasures. After years of seeking out and acquiring all manner of quality antique Americana from simple but seldom surviving items of special interest to historically important treasures, Janet and I look forward to offering the fruits of our years of seeking out such to new and appreciative homes.

This wonderful all original quarter-plate thermoplastic photo case remains in fine condition, tight at the hinges and clasp with no chips, cracks, or warping. Both front and back present the same high relief South Carolina scene of the famous 1836 wilderness dinner meeting between Southern Department of the Continental Army, partisan forces commander Genl. Francis Marion (The Swamp Fox.) and British officers. A clandestine meeting to arrange exchange of prisoners, the occasion would be brought before the American public and immortalized by South Carolina artist John Blake White’s painting which now hangs in the senate gallery in Washington. Credited with playing a key role in reclaiming most of South Carolina from the British in 1781 Gen. Marion became a lasting hero in the South extending through the Civil War era when the exploits of the Swamp Fox and his men became a Confederate rallying point. The scene then popularly known as the Sweet Potato Supper was utilized on the Confederate $10.00 bill and was preserved in a limited production run of decorative thermoplastic photo cases. A scarce piece of interest in a wide variety of collector categories the condition and originality of this offering is guaranteed to please. As with all direct sales, we are pleased to offer a no questions asked three day inspection with refund of the purchase price upon return as purchased Thanks for visiting Gunsight Antiques!!
