UPDATED 8/18/25
Folks I appreciate y'all so much. I have had this web site for over 30 years, and know how closely many of you follow it. I have tried the past several years to always update every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I am a one man operation, and as I have become much busier, this schedule is hard to maintain. I wanted to let you know that I am going to try updating on Monday and Thursday. Hopefully, this will allow me more time for packing and shipping and all the other things that must be done, and also allow me to continue searching out quality relics to add to the site. Once again, I want to thank you for your business, and more importantly, your friendship over the years. God bless!  

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my site. I am Tom Hays, and I am the fourth generation to grow up on our family farm, a short distance from the Stones River Battlefield. I've always had an interest in the civil war, and have been selling relics for over forty years. Many of you also know my father, Bill Hays who also dealt in relics for many years. I have had this relic site since February of 1998 and many things have changed in that time, but the following never will:

In short, I'll treat you exactly the way I want to be treated when I buy. I appreciate your business, and I appreciate you! Whenever you are in the East Tennessee area, I'd love for you to stop by. Please call first, as I am a one man operation and I'm often away from the shop. Please remember our service men & women in your prayers. God Bless America!

Sincerely,

Tom Hays
