"Boyd & Sons" Marked Boxplate: A great example of a contractor marked plate No ground action to speak of, both hooks, smooth lead. Has one deep pit in lead from iron hooks rusting. Face has a few very tiny freeze cracks but does not affect the overall beauty of this piece. This is not only an outstanding example with a clear stamping and both hooks, but it also came from a famous location: "The Confederate Wishing Well" in Savannah, GA. This was a find made in the early 1980's, in which thousands of Confederate bullets were found, dumped per orders to keep the Yanks from getting them when the Confederates abandoned Savannah. Don't know how a US boxplate got in there, but it did. This find was detailed in an issue of North South Trader Magazine (not sure which issue). Anyway, a wonderful marked plate with a wonderful pedigree. In fact, on our bullet page we have a few of the bullets found there...buy them also and have a great display!
