Description: Original hand signed and dated 1861 “Fifty Cents” note issued by “Greensboro Mutual Life Insurance and Trust Co.” in Greensboro, North Carolina. Printed on one side, the note had a hand inscribed serial number at right which has faded. In 1851 a number of prominent Greensboro men founded the Greensboro' Mutual Insurance Company which issued fire insurance. Although a number of life insurance companies had previously been chartered in North Carolina, the Greensboro Mutual Life Insurance and Trust Company was the first insurance company in North Carolina to be granted permission from the state legislature to include a trust operation similar to a banking operation. Original lead bullets excavated from the Wilderness and Spotsylvania Battlefields near Fredericksburg, Virginia. The 1864 battles were the beginning of General Grant’s “Overland Campaign” to take Richmond. From left they are a fired .58 Confederate Gardner made at the Richmond Arsenal, a dropped .58 Federal round for the Springfield Rifle and a fired .58 rifle that could have been used by either side. They are mounted in an 8” x 12” Riker style case with glass front. All of the artifacts are guaranteed to be original Civil War issue or as stated. A hand signed and dated “Certificate of Authenticity” will be issued by Collectors Frame with a photograph and description of the items purchased. Please see our "About Collectors Frame” for more information on the framing and artifacts.
