Civil War Field Drum with Photo of Drummer & Period Drum Sticks
About the Item
The drum measures 16” high x 17” diameter. The photograph is in a frame case that measures 3 ¾” high x 3 3/16” wide.
It is in untouched, as-found condition, and was acquired directly from the family of the soldier. It has very old calfskin heads. It has a great weathered patina, with normal wear from usage. It appears to be missing the leather braces that bound the ropes together, but these can be easily replaced.
It appears to be identical to the one featured on the cover and on page 49 of the book “A Pictorial History of Civil War Era Musical Instruments & Military Bands” by Robert Garofalo & Mark Elrod, (Pictorial Histories Publishing Company, 1995). The drum in the book is attributed to Horstmann, Brothers Co., Fifth & Cherry Streets, Philadelphia, circa 1863.
