Civil War Mail

If you're looking for Civil War soldier's mail, an online auction may be your best bet. Going to auctions was always the best way to get a good deal on militaria and other Civil War collectibles. Now -- with Internet auctions -- it's the best way to find a wide selection.

Here are Civil War mail auctions currently running on eBay. These are live. Click on any of the listings for more information.

If there are no listings above, it could be a bug in the program. You may want to click over and search for "Civil War mail" or something more specific such as "American Civil War Confederate mail". You might be surprised at what you find. The variety of items being auctioned at eBay never ceases to amaze me.

By the way, if you collect militaria, Richard J. Austin's Official Price Guide to Military Collectibles is a popular reference book.

Happy Hunting,

P.S. If you're new to eBay, here are some tips. The first thing you'll need to do is register. This is free and easy. You'll have to provide some basic contact information, but that will be kept completely private.

Before you bid on an item I highly recommend checking the seller's "feedback rating." This gives you an indication of how the seller has treated other buyers. Almost everybody ends up with a negative review here and there, but too many is a bad sign. Read the negative comments and decide for yourself.

Also be sure to check the shipping and payment details. Some unscrupulous sellers charge too much for shipping and handling.

P.P.S. If any of these are closer to home for you, consider: eBay Canada, eBay UK, or eBay Australia.
