This item is a non-relic U.S. Artillery Pole Pad; these were used to protect the horse crew from injury by padding the ends of artilleryman’s implement poles.  Poles were often carried loosely in the limber and could easily injure a horse during movement.  This pad is built with quality.  Made of heavy brown leather, it is padded and impressively stitched.  It measures 5 inches tall and 4 inches across the top of the pad.  The bottom is 3 inches outer diameter and 2-inch inner diameter, has tight stitching, and has recessed areas for a large steel attaching pin and leather end tie.  The padding is ½ inch thick and all stitching is tight.  This pad has some scuffmarks and a few small dents that do not detract from its attractive appearance; it is not marked.  This pad could still be used today.  It would make an excellent display piece for a Civil War or Artillery collection. Previously sold as Item M17364.   [bb][ph:L]

*******************

The Horse Soldier was pleased to offer a number of items from the John P. Geiselman collection, a collection that was on display for many years at the Geiselman Country Store Museum on Barlow - Two Taverns Road. Geiselman began his collecting as a child in the early 1920s, and during the pre-World II period had access to artifacts that had been purchased earlier at the estate sales of the Trostle, Rogers, Rose, Weikert, and Wentz farms - local properties that figured prominently in the battle and its aftermath. During this period he had access as well to the Hill , Plank, and Stewart collections, and was able to acquire other items that had been sold from turn-of-the-century relics establishments such as the Danner, Ziegler, and Oak Ridge Museums. Furthermore, Geiselman carefully documented most artifacts, and collectors perusing the list will be able to note, in many instances, not only the source of the relic and the date of its recovery, but also the part of the battlefield from which it came. In other words, his collection is the last major grouping of Gettysburg artifacts assembled and documented by a local resident.

This item is NOT eligible for the 10% discount off the listed price.
