About the Item
Offered is a set of vintage brass Revolutionary War soldiers bookends. Each bookend depicts a fife player and two drummers marching in step together across a grassy battlefield. One of the drummers is also a flag bearer. The flag bearer hoists a large 13-star medallion flag into the air. The battlefield is strewn with cannon balls, a broken wheel, and an injured soldier. These patriotic bookends were made in 1974 by the manufacturer S.C.C.
During the American Revolution, the Continental Army used fifes and drums for communication and regimentation. Music, standardized by the drillmaster, served as a signal in battle. The higher pitch of the fife and the booming beat and tap of the drums would pierce through the chaos and sounds of battle, signaling commanders’ orders across long distances. In the camp, the fife and drum also signaled to soldiers when to wake up, collect provisions, assemble, march, and more.

Vintage Cast-Iron Eagle Sculpture, Early 20th Century
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
This is a cast-iron figural eagle doorstop, circa early 20th century. The eagle is depicted with wings spread wide, perched and mounted to a square marble base. The eagle retains traces of its original gilt surface and is embossed with “F.O.E.” at its midsection, possibly referring to the Fraternal Order of Eagles.
The eagle is both the national bird and the national animal of the United States. The eagle motif has been widely used throughout American history, most notably as part of our Great Seal. The founders of the United States were fond of comparing their new republic with the Roman Republic, in which eagle imagery, usually the golden eagle, was prominent. On June 20, 1782, the Continental Congress adopted the design for the Great Seal of the United States...
