KEN STEPHENSON
OF FLIPPIN ARKANSAS HAS WON OUR
CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY
Yep it's that time again! Christmas will be here before you know it and your pals here at Blockade Runner are going to make it extra special for one lucky guy or gal. This year we are giving away a Todd Watts defarb 1858 Lorenz complete with bayonet and scabbard! A $745.00 value. All you have to do is place an order with us and you will be automatically entered into the drawing. Every time you place an order your name goes into the hat so the more times you order the better your chances to win.
1858 Lorenz
Todd Watts has outdone himself with these custom defarbed copies of an 1858 Austrian Lorenz. Just look at that detail, even the nose cap and ram rod are correct. These are smoothbore .60 caliber made in India. Todd has completely stripped each one down to the last screw, inspected, made all needed corrections and proofed every barrel. If you want a better one you'll have to buy an original. Each one comes with the correct four sided bayonet and scabbard, sorry, not sold separately.
My lawyer says I have to put this part here; BLOCKADE RUNNER INC. does not recommend these muskets for live firing. It is sold with the understanding that the purchaser (that's you) will use this musket for firing blanks only.

WOODEN CANDLE LANTERN
Just in time for the spring season, remember - it's still going to get dark early for several months yet. A new or extra lantern would come in pretty handy. Especailly at this price. Just raise the front payne of glass and put your candle into the metal insert, light her up and your ready to go. Similar in size, scope and quality to the small wooden lantern that we've sold for years. I think you'll be very satisfied with this lantern.

GREEN FELT HAT BLANK
Of course all of our hat blanks are seconds, if they were not they would be $50. each. Beaver aint cheap! We sell a ton of these every year but these are small and I've got a lot of em. So I'm going to pass them on to you at a very - very good price. I did not measure them but as I sit here at my computer I'm guessing they are about a 6 1/2. You can only size a blank up so far before it looks deformed, you might make a 6 3/4 out of it. They will fit quite a few youngsters and females. But the best use (I think) would be to make bonnet foundations out of them. I don't know what a bonnet foundation cost but I bet it's more than $9.95

PETERSON'S LADIES NATIONAL MAGAZINE
MAY 1862
SPECIAL PRICE $8.95!
I have to admit that some times a product turns out better than I ever anticipated - this is one of those. The quality of this reprint is outstanding, as close to the original as was humanly possible. Every piece of type was re-set, this is no xerox copy! In addition it is the correct size and the fashion print is actually in color just as the original.
If your not familiar with Peterson's you have really been missing out. Peterson's was published out of Philadelphia and was one of the most popular Ladies magazines of it's time, it overtook Godey's as the number one best seller in 1866 and Godey's never held that title again. The format is basically the same but it is my personal opinion that the writing is better as is their explanation of the fashions. As a matter of fact this issue has the best explanation of which materials to use for the different degrees of mourning that I have ever seen.
Page after page of fashions for the lady of the house and the children. Knitting and crochet projects with detailed instructions, book reviews, songs with lyrics and music, stories, some serial, some complete and don't forget receipts. Many many examples of needlework and poems galore, few people realize or appreciate the popularity of poetry during the CW era. This will be a great asset to any ladies kit, especially for living histories.

TIN CAN BOILER
THIS WEEK ONLY $8.95
Necessity really is the mother of invention. What would any enterprising soldier do when confronted with a "no boiler" situation? He'd make one of course and what better to make one from than a large recently emptied tin can! This one happened to be of peaches, we just cut out the top, folded over the sharp edge and punched a couple of square nail holes in the side to add a wire bail. Done and done! We now have a great boiler for coffee, soup, stew or whatever and it holds nearly three cups. That's a lot of beans. Compare this great boiler and great price to any other similar product, this one wins hands down!. You must use the same precautions with this boiler as you would with any soldered tin container. Do not place it directly over the flame and always fill it to the top when heating.

STAINLESS CUP & PLATE SPECIAL
What a super deal! A large Stainless steel cup and plate for only $9.95
I can't get these on a regular basis but when I do I buy all the supplier has. Last year ya'll bought 200 sets of these in 2 weeks so to say they were well received is quite the understatement. I was able to buy 300 sets this time but you can bet they will go fast, he who hesitates eats off rusty tin.
The plate measures 10 inches across and the cup is 4 inches tall by 3 3/4 inches wide.

SECOND PRINTING, NEW LOWER PRICE!
L. VIRGINIA FRENCH'S
WAR JOURNAL 1862-1865
The second printing is here! Much of our initial printing cost and overhead was covered by the sale of our first printing of this fantastic book. Now we can offer it to you at an even lower price than before. Hopefully this will give even more people access to this book which many are calling the "Civilian Company Aytch".
L. Virginia French's journal gives the best insight into the everyday life of a Middle Tennessean that was ever put to pen. During the first part of the journal her thoughts are somewhat philosophical but as time goes on and the war comes to her home in McMinnville Tennessee it all becomes very personal. Accounts of Yankee raids on the town, factories burned without warning while the female workers are still on the top floor and Cavalry battles literally in her front yard. She entertains General John Hunt Morgan and his new bride Mattie Ready Morgan days after their wedding. Fans of General Morgan will be amazed at the stories Mrs. French records in her journal as told by the General himself. Written down the very day of the telling. General Wheeler visits so often that a member of his staff becomes engaged to Virginia's niece!
Women will be astounded by the details of of the local ladies dress, right down to the fabric, buttons and even their jewelry.
Details of how Terry's Texas Rangers were re-equipped by the local tradesmen, from their horse tac, shoes, boots and even how the local ladies pitched in to help with the clothing.
Every General officer, Colonel or Major that passes through the area calls on Mrs. French and she relates their tales to you through her journal. So many of the nagging questions about everyday life during the period, that I never thought I would know the answer to unfolded before me in crystal clarity as I read this journal.
It is probably best that we let her speak for herself.
A very small portion of this journal has been edited for clarity. In a few cases so has the spelling. But for the most part is appears here just as it does in the journal.

Wow! what a great deal on an 1860 Cav. saber. These sabers are very sturdy and well made. The size and weight of this blade is very close to the originals too.

BRASS BUCKLES
Sorry that the photo is not as clear as it should be. These cast brass buckles are not the top quality buckles that we sell everyday. But with that being said I'll add that they aint that bad either. They have the traditional C.W. style back but they are easily converted to fit your everyday belt. Made from solid cast brass that will last a lifetime. But I saved the best for last, they are super cheap! $5.95 each for oval or rectangle buckles and $9.95 for tongue and wreath. It's hard to go wrong at that price.
Here's the line up; Top left tongue and wreath is a Ky. state seal.
