Tin rolled case, 8.25" long, 1.625 in diameter, with 8.25 x 10" black vinyl cloth & wood (eight links) wrap-around with brass fasteners.

Inner side of cloth wraparound contains glued paper, 5" x.1.625, with the following inscription: "Presented to C. B. Doble by Isaiah Clifford…found at Warrenton, VA. Writing Case".

Charles B. Doble enlisted as a private on 8/29/1862 as a private and on 9/17 was mustered into Co."I", 93rd New York Infantry. On 11/17/1864 Doble was transferred into the Veteran Reserve Corps, & was promoted to Corporal 1/3/1865. There is no record of his mustering out date.

The 93rd New York Infantry was mustered into U.S. service in January 1862. From the 1862 Peninsula Campaign on, the unit served in nearly all the major engagements of the Army of the Potomac, including the Wilderness, in it lost 258 killed and wounded out of 433 effectives. It was probably during Grant's Overland campaign that Pvt. Doble sustained the sort of wound that facilitated his transfer to the reserve corps.
