Up for sale is a wonderful piece of Civil War history! This is an actual and authentic Civil War cdv album. This album belonged to Lydia Rohrer. Her father was Surgeon Benj. Rohrer. He may be in the album although it is not noted as such. The second page of the album has a personal inscription by a fellow officer or soldier of her fathers. It reads: "Presented to Mrs. Lydia Rohrer as a mark of the high esteem in which I hold (held) her father and also of the appreciation of kindship by. Your Friend, ....I can't make out his name or his rank. On a piece of paper in the front of the album it has more information about Surgeon Benj. Rohrer. It reads: "Surgeon Benj. Rohrer, 10th Penn.

PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING!!!!!!!!! UPDATED 5-21-08 @11:17 PM

TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT UNLESS THIS AUCTION MEETS $950 BY 9AM ON THURSDAY (MAY 22) I WILL HAVE TO CANCEL THE AUCTION! WHEN I HAD ORIGINALLY CREATED THE AUCTION I PUT A RESERVE OF $950 ON THIS ITEM BUT FOR SOME REASON ON EBAY'S SIDE IT DIDN'T SHOW ON THE AUCTION. I HAVE TALKED WITH EBAY THRU EBAY LIVE HELP AND EMAIL AND THE ONLY THING THEY CAN TELL ME IS THAT I NEED TO CANCEL THE AUCTION AND RELIST BEFORE LESS THAN 12 HOURS IS LEFT OR I WILL HAVE TO SELL FOR WHAT IT GOES FOR BUT I CAN'T TAKE LESS THAN MY ORIGINAL RESERVE OF $950. THEY CAN'T GUARANTEE ME THAT I WILL BE CREDITED FOR THE MISTAKE. I WAS HOPING BY THIS POINT THAT THE RESERVE WOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN MET BUT IT HASN'T. IN ALL MY YEARS WITH EBAY I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME! AS YOU CAN TELL BY MY 98.9% FEEDBACK THAT I AM AN HONEST AND GOOD EBAYER! I AM SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THAT THIS HAS CAUSED! THE UPSIDE IS THAT IF BY 9AM THE RESERVE IS MET THEN I WILL LEAVE THE AUCTION OPEN UNTIL IT ACTUALLY ENDS. THANK YOU!
