I decided to just start a new thread on this. I finally got a chance to get into the collection to get some photos. I saw some additional things I'm interested in. Basically, I'm wondering if anyone can help me out with a value so I can make a fair offer. Some of the photos are not too great as a lot of the stuff is hard to access because of how full the building is, so I apologize for that.
Models of CSS Cairo and Sultana - I'm told the owner "had them made". Whether that means scratch built or from a kit I don't know, but they look from what I can see to be not of the highest quality work but still very presentable.
Shadowbox with two pieces of wood from USS Cairo
Shadowbox with a piece of wood from CSS Neuce
There are various framed pictures, some from publications like Harper's. I'm pretty confident on valuations on that sort of thing but I threw a couple of pictures of them in anyway.
This is a really incredible collection. Lots of other antiques besides Civil War related, including a whole room of Remington, lots of wild west stuff. Pretty cool. I had to focus or I was going to end up packing it all into my already pretty full house Somewhere there is supposed to be some sort of display of Sultana items as well but that hasn't been located yet.
Anyway, thanks for any help on a value. She's a long time friend of the Mrs and and I want to make her a fair offer.
