Lot 53


It is from the Danner Museum Collection. Joel Albertus Danner (son of Joel B. Danner) was just 16 when he witnessed the battle that came to his hometown. He picked up relics from the field and crafted some of them into useful objects such as small gas lamps made from hollowed cannon balls. In 1865, he opened one of the first museums in Gettysburg to display his relic collection. His museum was unique in that visitors could actually purchase the displayed objects as souvenirs. Danner painted inventory numbers on his displayed items, visible in the image here, so he could easily replace items as they were sold. Today, relics from the Danner Museum are highly sought by collectors. The Danner Museum operated for several decades from storefronts on Baltimore Street.
