CIVIL WAR Opalescent Uranium Glass Toothpick Holder Gettysburg High Water Mark

Description

For Sale:
Opalescent GLOWY Uranium Toothpick Holder
Featuring “High Water Mark of the Rebellion Monument” Gettysburg PA.
I am excited to offer you this truly unique and brilliantly fluorescent toothpick holder. This antique opalescent glass piece features a dot-type image of the “High Water Mark of the Rebellion” monument, which was installed in 1892 to commemorate the furthest the Confederacy was able to penetrate the Union line during the battle of Gettysburg. Maj. Gen. George Pickett and 4,500 Confederate soldiers were able to breach the Union line at “The Angle.” The Confederate charge ended here, and this moment marked the turning point for the Civil War. The “High Water Mark of the Rebellion” monument was erected at the furthest point Confederate troops were able to penetrate.
The toothpick holder is made from opalescent (opaque) uranium glass, which glows immensely under a black light. There is some worn gilt around the top and side. Historic reproduction of photo of monument in excellent condition. One leg (front right side facing you) has a chip. This does not affect how the holder stands (perfectly balanced) and is not at all readily apparent. It is a bit rough to the touch (not sharp). If you purchase this holder and this bothers you, I will refund all shipping and the purchase price of the item upon return.
