Carpet Bags
These rugged bags are the perfect thing to carry all your gear. The solid wood handles and wood-reinforced bottom make them super sturdy. These bags measure 19 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 11 inches deep, big enough to carry a disassembled shotgun. The fully-lined, roomy interior features 3 side pockets, 2 small and 1 large, to organize all those little odds and ends. The fabrics are heavy tapestry in a variety of historically appropriate colors and patterns. These may include solid colors, floral or botanical patterns, geometric designs, or plaids. The top flap buttons down. Buttons are selected to match the style and color of the fabric and are may be made of bone, shell, wood, metal, etc. The above pictures are just a small sample of what we have available.

1861 Confederate Notes Type 1
These notes were originally issued with blank backs. For historical accuracy we have reproduced them this way. However, we can print them with backs for those who prefer the look of a two-sided note. Just ask us!
1862-64 Civil War Era Union Notes
These were the first Legal Tender notes issued by the United States Government. They were the first permanent paper money, unlike the interest bearing notes and bonds issued previously.
1864 Confederate Notes Type 7
The lower denominations of these notes are one sided, with no image on the reverse. This includes the smaller 50-cent note, issued because there was a shortage of precious metals with which to mint coins.
1864 Confederate Notes Type 2
All these notes have a blue image on the reverse, thus the nickname "bluebacks".
1869 Rainbow Notes
The series of 1869 Legal Tender notes is known as the "Rainbow" series because of the bright colors used in printing and because it was printed on special paper tinted blue. These measures were taken to prevent counterfeiting.
1870s Notes
The face designs of the 1870s notes are similar to the previous series but the backs have a completely new design. They have a red seal on the left and a large red floral design on the right.
1880s Notes
The face and back designs of the 1880s notes are similar to the previous series but the large red floral overprint is gone. Some issues have a large brown or red seal on the right, some have a small red seal on the left. The $10 note included here is called a "Jackass" note because when you turn it upside down the eagle looks like a donkey's head.
1870s Silver Certificates
Silver certificates were authorized by an act of Congress in 1878. Silver coins were large and heavy and people did not like to carry them. So the treasury minted the coins, kept them, and issued silver certificates against them. The certificates stated that they could be traded for silver.
1840s Republic of Texas
1840s Republic of Texas
The Republic of Texas "redbacks" were first issued in 1839 and were worth about 37 cents to the US dollar. By 1842 they were virtually worthless as there was very little gold or silver in the Republic of Texas to back them.
