    At The Gun show Today...I did buy something...

    While at the Gun Show today I did buy something.Ebay has these available from time to time depending on Condition and Maker, ranging from $150.00 to $375.00. This one is made by Caldwell, one of the more desirable in 14KT. gold, and has engraved the name MARY ADELAIDE DE CAMP #53433. I paid $00.25...

    That is right twenty five cents!

    All four of my daughters are eligible for membership from my Paternal mothers side.

    I'll Quadruple your money, but with those types of returns, I'm expecting free shipping!

    Good Snag Kid, thanks for sharing.

    UPDATE: MARY ADELAIDE DE CAMP #53433 is from Ohio.

    I also know that she was a direct descendant of EZEKIEL DE CAMP of WESTFIELD, NEW JERSEY, American Patriot, serving as Corporal and Sgt and finally Ensign. This could get interesting.

    The wife said, " My husband has all this junk and I carry it from show to show, If it ain't worth .25 cents just take it"...LOL

    I gave the lady a quarter, no sense staring a fight in the show.

    Smart shopper you are, Kid! I'm sure wifey is just as pleased as you are, considering your daughters are eligible to join the DAR. My own little wifey has paper that traces her ancestry back to the Revolution. She signed up on Ancestry.com and all this was confirmed by records that even she did not have. Been trying to get her to join for some time now. I think I'll show her this posting and that should seal the deal. Thanx!

    Very nice.
    I think some of my ancestors probably fought the English also ......

    In Ireland.

    Kid you are a magnet for good finds. Me? Not so much. Hey, my great great grandfather fought the French...what does that mean?
