- Lot Description
Approx. 1 in. long brass capsule which unscrews counterclockwise to reveal an interior chamber.
Exceedingly rare piece. The first time an example has been made available for public acquisition; one other was documented by the American Civil War Museum (formerly the Museum of the Confederacy) in 2009.
Capsules such as this were ostensibly used by Confederate soldiers to smuggle small messages by placing them inside of the capsule and then inserting it into their rectum. Thus, in combination with their acorn-like shape, they have earned the nickname "rectal acorns".
Condition as shown.
[Civil War, Union, Confederate, Relics, Ephemera]
- Shipping Info
-
Fleischer's Auctions packages and ships most items in-house. We make an effort to ensure the lowest shipping rate possible while still meeting our package safety standards.
Large items, framed pieces, and any item that we are unable to package and ship in-house will be marked in the catalog as being packaged and shipped by a third-party service. Successful bidders winning items marked as being packaged and shipped by a third-party service are responsible for paying the third party directly. We are happy to offer complimentary drop-off service to local third-party packing/shipping companies in Columbus, Ohio. Once an item is dropped off and no longer in our possession, Fleischer's Auctions is not liable for the item's safe handling or shipment to the successful bidder.
