Where is this monument? LRT?

I collect old post cards and saw this on Ebay....... title says on LRT, but I don't recognize it and have already looked for it in the Gettysburg Monument book that I have, and its not in there either?

A slight correction: it isn't on the field now.

I just flipped through my copy of Guide to Gettysburg Battlefield Monuments but could not find this particular monument. It's possible that it was replaced by another monument or was removed at some point.

It is to the 91st Pennsylvania, and it is still on the field, although it is now next to Hazlett's battery and the ball on top is gone.

It is the old monument to the 91st Pennsylvania which was replaced by the larger monument to the regiment. It was altered to be a commemoration marker for General Weed and Lieutenant Hazlett.

I came across a stereoview of it recently in NYPL's collection:

I suppose people buy them but something about someone selling pictures of things that are everywhere on the internet.

Thanks. And its the one that has the carvings on its base in the back of it, right?
