Historic Manning-Goddard House Pen

Introducing a unique and captivating piece of history, the Manning-Goddard House Pen. Crafted from the wood of the Manning-Goddard House, this pen encapsulates the haunted legacy and rich past of the Redstone Arsenal’s most notorious residence. Built in 1835 and serving various pivotal roles, including as a Union forces base during the Civil War, this house has witnessed numerous ghostly apparitions and unexplained phenomena.

The Manning-Goddard House is renowned for its eerie tales. Visitors and residents have reported hearing crying babies, barking dogs, and doors opening and closing on their own. Military police experienced lights turning on inexplicably, and their dogs refused to enter the house. Even after being relocated 11 miles from its original site, the paranormal activities persisted, adding to its mystique.

This exquisite pen is not only a writing instrument but also a conversation starter, imbued with historical significance and a touch of the supernatural. The pen is designed with unique features that honor the Civil War era:

Features:

• 58 Caliber Minie’ Ball Replica Cap:
  • The cap is a replica of the 58 caliber Minie’ Ball, the most widely used bullet in the Civil War. Originally a French army bullet, it was officially adopted by Americans in 1855. Its design includes rings to hold grease, easing the bullet down the barrel and collecting powder residue when fired. It was used in the Model 1861 Springfield Rifle Musket.
• Model 1861 Springfield Rifle Musket Replica Clip:
  • The clip mimics the Model 1861 Springfield Rifle Musket, a single-shot, muzzle-loading gun famed for its range, accuracy, and reliability. Firing the 58-caliber Minie’ Ball, it was the most common firearm used by both Union and Confederate forces, with a maximum effective range of 500 yards.
• 44 Caliber 1860 Colt Army Revolver Bullet Replica Tip:
  • The pen tip is modeled after the 44 caliber bullet of the 1860 Colt Army Revolver, the preferred sidearm of cavalry, infantry, and artillery troops. This six-shot revolver was the most widely used handgun of the Civil War, with its bullets designed for the round rifle barrel and attached to paper cartridges.
