Early Gettysburg Souvenir Paperweight, “Devils Den”

This is another nice item being offered, it is an early 20th century Gettysburg paperweight. It measures 4" x 2 1/2" x 1". Under the thick glass is an early image of Devils Den and it reads “Devils Den Gettysburg, Pa”

These paperweights were a popular souvenir in the early 20th century. Many visitors and even Civil War veterans would pick one up as a keepsake. They had many different scenes; Devils Den is one of the rarer ones. In my book “Battle of Gettysburg – The Relics, Artifacts & Souvenirs” I show several examples of these paperweights (see pictures). This one is in very nice condition.
