Civil War Bugle Made By Draper Brothers, Boston
<B>Civil War Bugle Made by Draper Brothers, Boston.</B></I> A brass, single-twist bugle, 16” long, with a 5.5” in diameter bell, maker marked “<I>Draper Brothers/ Boston</B></I>”, in good condition. The brass garland around the bell appears to be missing, and the body has several dings and dents commensurate with hard usage, else it is in good condition. This style of bugle is the most common type of the Civil War. Draper & Brothers, Boston received an army contract on July 3, 1861 to provide 400 bugles; this may well be an example from that contract.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Smal (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
