Civil War Hardtack Boxes

"Get your Hardtack here! These are the real thing. They are made from an authentic civil war recipe. They are a great addition to your kit for a living history display and would look awesome in one of Charlies Boatworks cracker boxes. You can even soak some in coffee or water and fry them in that left over bacon grease for some authentic soldier cooking. They are made with unbleached flour, water and course sea salt. They are all natural, no artificial anything added. They are cut using a period style tin Hardtack cutter. They are wrapped in a plain brown wrapper and labeled with your choice of Robert Stears, AT Hanks or my own period label. I can also include weevils at no extra charge (black sesame seeds)
If you want some email me at
meathookst11@yahoo.com (I accept Paypal.) one package of 10 crackers is $10.00 plus shipping."
