Vintage "Spirit of '76" Bookends by S.C.C., 1974
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 Pair of Brass Pineapple Bookends
By Maison Jansen
