Civil War Union Case, Seated Liberty with Shield, Newspaper Articles

Original era manufacture. US Civil War Union Case depicting Seated Liberty with Shield. Full 6th plate, being manufactured by Littlefield, Parsons and Company. At some point in the recent past, a previous owner placed copies of period newspapers to act as a backing, or cover for the images. The case hinges are a little sprung, and won't allow the case to close completely, otherwise the case is in decent shape for it's age and fragility. A portion of the outside inner edge on one side of the case is missing.
