Civil War U.S. Military Soldier Document Signed 1867
This is an original U.S. military document from just after the Civil War. It is dated August 24th, 1867. The document is for a soldier, and it is a stipend for clothing worn during enlistment. The dates of issue are listed as months and dates. There are monetary values, and signatures of witnesses as well. Most of the document is hand inked. The paper size is 10 x 15 1/2 inches. The condition is very good for its age, with normal aging along the edges. It is boarded, and bagged and well preserved. * * This is a great historical piece, showing the organization and documentation of the very young U.S. military. * * This is a little figure of Garfield on the campaign trail, and he looks quite stately and then thumbs his nose at the opposition! The arm slides out subtly to put forth the surprising expression. This piece has great detail on either side, with Garfield's name marked on his tall hat. It appears to be brass, and is 1 1/2 inches tall. Its condition is excellent for its age, and it functions smoothly. The hole on top is for a chain, to be worn as a charm, or pin. * This is a fun U.S. presidential campaign item, and it will be a treat for any political collector.
