BRASS CIVIL WAR DRUMMER’S PLATE

$650.00 SOLD

Quantity Available: None

Item Code: 465-122

This plate was meant to be worn on the sling of the drum and to hold the drumsticks when not in use. The front of the plate is made of a sheet of thin brass with clipped corners. Mounded on the face are two cylindrical holders through which the drumsticks pass. These cylinders are a little smaller than a drumsticks widest area and friction holds the sticks in the cylinders.

The reverse has a applied three pronged attachment hook. The reverse of the plate is also marked “G.L. CARRINGTON-APL. 4th.”

George L. Carrington of Carrington Manufacturing Company of Waterbury, Connecticut had Army contracts in 1864 & 1865.
