GEORGE FOX 7th ILLINOIS Civil War FRAMES Soldier HOLY Bible FAMILY Lot PICTURE

YOU ARE BIDDING ON A HUGE CIVIL WAR SOLDIER/FAMILY LOT FROM PVT GEORGE W FOX, 7TH ILLINOIS VOLS,

INCLUDING TWO HUGE FRAMES, ONE WITH FOX IN FULL GOLD HIGHLIGHTED PAINT TO THE UNIFORM, AND A FIELD BIBLE PROBABLY CARRIED BY FOX!

Regiment Name 7 Illinois Cavalry

This gorgeous Civil War family lot includes two 5.5" x 8" oval albumen photographs, one of a soldier (presumably George W. Fox, 7th Illinois, Co. A)  wearing a gold highlighted U.S. leather strap and gold highlighted buttons, the other presumably of his wife in Victorian garb, in matching 15" x 17" period frames (great shape, nice woodwork, about 3" deep), an 1857 American Bible Society Holy Bible (pocket style, some wear to tab, some leather cracking, pages clean) identified to George Fox, Princeton, Illinois on FFEP,  nine unidentified cabinet cards, CDVs, tintypes, and a sixth plate ambrotype of the same family, complete with velvet highlighted closing case. The name Sadie Wymer is located on the back of one photo, perhaps a relation of Fox. Most of the papers and photographs originate from northeast Ohio, especially New Philadelphia and Youngstown, possible a place where Fox's family eventually settled.

The quality of historic images are subject to the wearing of time, the capabilities of the original photographer, and limitations of period technology. History affords us no re-takes; we must content ourselves with what has been left to us.  Please note that we do not attempt to fix, enhance or disturb the original image in any way, as we feel these eccentricities add to its historic charm. Thank you for taking this into consideration before making your purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I know your image description is accurate?

We strive to make our photo descriptions as accurate as possible. Descriptions are taken directly from the U.S. Library of Congress, National Archives, or other sources as noted. In many cases, these institutions hold the original negatives and state the ascribed notes directly from the original photographer. Therefore, we use these institutions as our standard of authority on description accuracy. We are not responsible for errors and we will not participate in disputes. Should you have a dispute, please contact the sighted source directly.

This listing provides buyers with the opportunity to review the image and agree or disagree with the item description before finalizing a purchase.  As such, no refunds will be issued on the basis of an allegedly inaccurate description.  We encourage you to feel comfortable with the stated description before ordering.

When can I expect my package?

Items are delivered via USPS First Class mail (2-5 business days) with no longer than one (1) day handling time. Your item should not be considered untimely unless it has not been received after one full week from your payment date (within the United States). Please consider weekends and holidays when anticipating your package arrival date as well. 

International delivery times vary depending on location.  While First Class International usually delivers within 7-14 business days, it offers no guarantee on delivery times and may take up to a month.  Please take this into consideration if you are outside the United States and placing a time-sensitive order.

Is your transit packaging secure?

Great care will be taken to ensure that your item arrives in excellent condition. Prints are shipped flat on cardboard and sealed in a water-resistant envelope or, for posters and maps, rolled in a crush-resistant tube. We've successfully shipped thousands of prints in this manner, which demonstrates a reliability in our packaging methods.  Items will arrive in good order when handled properly by postal carriers. 

Please note that we pay extra charges to have parcels delivered as PACKAGES, not regular mail.  This means your carrier should deliver your package to your doorstep (not bend or cram it into your mailbox).  Should you find your package damaged due to this type of handling, please contact your local post office.

How long do I have to pay?

Payment is expected within (7) seven days. This 7 day period may be used to acquire multiple items for the multiple item shipping discount. If 7 days is insufficient, please submit your payment and we will hold your shipment until you have acquired all your desired purchases. The multiple item discount will be applied on all items shipped together. 

If payment is not received by the eighth day after purchase, we will initiate an unpaid item case.  We pay fees on all items sold through eBay and this process is the only way to reverse fees incured by unpaid transactions.  Should a payment issue arise, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're happy to work with you!

What do the S&H charges cover?

The shipping and handling charges associated with this item cover:

Shipping your package Shipping materials such as tubes, envelopes, paper, cardboard, etc. eBay insertion fees eBay final value fees Electronic payment costs such as Paypal transactions fees Transportation costs (applied to international sales only)

Please note our very low auction starting price.  These costs are not included into that price, but rather the shipping and handling portion of the transaction.  This is done to avoid fee double jeopardy:

With eBay's bracketed fee scale, including the selling fees into the starting price would push the sale into a higher fee bracket, resulting in fee double-jeopardy (paying higher fees to recover the cost of fees).  These higher cost would ultimately be passed on to our buyers.  We find this unacceptable, as we are constantly striving to keep our prices as low as possible.  We hope that you will framiliarize youself with our price structure before you bid.  Should you have further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

What is your return policy?

We will happily exchange any defective or problematic merchandise. However, cash refunds are not allowed, as your bid is a commitment to buy according to eBay policy.  The nature of our merchandise also compells us to protect against being treated as a lending library.  Therefore, please be confident of desire for our items before placing your order.  We ask that you contact us with any potential issue before leaving negative feedback, as we are committed to your 100% satisfaction and feel any problem can be easily resolved.

You may be whatever you resolve to be.   -- Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson
