About Carolina Collectors

Here's what we're all about:

Rick Burton and Warren Vestal started 'The Carolina Collectors' in the mid 1990's. Warren and Rick became friends from mutual acquaintances in the relic hunting world and both became interested in attending shows to buy, sell and trade Civil War Collectibles and relics. After a few years went by we decided to set up a web site to offer the items we have for sale to the on-line community of collectors.

In August of 2005 Rick Burton made the decision to leave a 20 year career in business systems analysis and become a full time dealer in Civil War Antiques of all kinds. Rick and Warren are still great friends and occaisionally they attend shows together. Rick is now a sole proprietor of Carolina Collectors and he alone creates and maintains this website.

We hope that you WON'T get the feeling you're buying Civil War Relics from a computer. We're here to answer your questions and address your concerns you have for any of the items that we sell. We pride ourselves in carrying fine quality and AUTHENTIC Civil War items at REASONABLE prices. We not only make the claim but we back it up by standing behind what we sell.

We are always looking to buy reasonably priced AUTHENTIC Civil War items. One piece or a collection, let us know what you've got. We like to look too!

We do carry a limited selection of Revolutionary War and Indian Wars militaria. These items are listed completely separate from the Civil War period items.

Many of the items that we sell are unique in nature. We make every effort to keep the website updated in a timely manner but regret that some items may already be sold and not yet marked as such. For certain stock items the photograph may be that of a specimen representative (in quality and condition) of the one that is actually in stock.

Simply stated, Carolina Collectors is one of the world’s largest Civil War marketplaces on the web. We provide online trading exchange between the individual customer and Carolina Collectors.

Why should you buy from Carolina Collectors?

• We have hundreds of authentic items in a single store.
• We provide enhanced Catalog pages listing available items for each category.
• But the best reason to shop with Carolina Collectors is that it is FUN! If you are looking for that rare, hard-to-find item, check us out!
