CIVIL WAR UNION INFANTRY DRUM
Regulation Civil War infantry eagle drum, 16 1/2" diameter, 13" tall, all parts original and authentic including skins. Bottom skin shows an early repair, likely contemporary to the war. All fittings and ropes are present and intact. Except for a negligible scuff, the eagle and shield motif is excellent, typical of those of the period. Maker's label within reads: "Manufactured by A. ROGERS, Flushing, L.I. [New York]". Rogers was one of the most prominent of drum makers and the quality of their work makes them particularly desireable. Overall very presentable and a fine display piece.

Estimate: $3,500 - 4,500.
