These clipped-corner rectangular breast plates with two cannon barrel like tubes were intended to hold a drummer’s drumsticks while mounted to a drummer’s sling.  When not in use, the sticks would rest in each tube, freeing the hands of the musician.

This is a VERY rare item that would pair well with any period drum for display, or would make an excellent addition to any Civil War collection.  [sr] [ph:L]
