Classic Civil War infantry drum. Painted with “Reg. U.S. Infantry" on ribbon held by an American eagle with shield. Paint is well-flaked and cracked. Tacks are complete, cut down to 10" to change the pitch, which was commonplace (photo online). Leather tighteners appear original, as does the cloth strap with leather heart shaped spreader. The cord could be a later replacement. No label visible. 10" tall by 16 1/2" diameter.
