Civil War/CW€DogTags: Scarce Washington Head Civil War Dog Tag
1861 Civil War Dog Tag for a New York Soldier, Choice Extremely Fine. Brass, 31.5 mm. This unusual type features a large bust of George Washington on the obverse and a partially pre-stamped reverse that was later punched with the pertinent information about a particular soldier. In this case, the soldier's name was Edward Blumanster of Company A of the 36th Regiment of New York Volunteers. According to this Dog Tag, Blumanster entered service on November 1, 1861. Pierced at the top for suspension. We cannot recall handling any other Washington Head Dog Tag in the past five years (or longer). This one's a beauty.
