Civil War era - SHOULDER SCALES

NOTICE

********NOW OPERATING FROM OUR NEW HEADQUARTERS ********



Now fully operational from the beautiful Pacific North West, we encourage all to keep a close eye as we unpack posted offerings and continue what will be an ongoing effort of unpacking the collection while taking stock with an eye toward thinning out our accumulation of treasures. After years of seeking out and acquiring all manner of quality antique Americana from simple but seldom surviving items of special interest to historically important treasures, Janet and I look forward to offering the fruits of our years of seeking out such to new and appreciative homes.

Though examples of Civil War Infantry issue may be found in period photography, shoulder scales emanated out of circa 1850 regulation pressed into early Civil War issue primarily to Cavalry and Mounted Artillery troops. They fell from the scene fairly early on as the early supply was used up not to be replaced as their lack of popularity practicality became evident. Maker marked HORSTMAN PHILA. for the well-known period military supplier, this original pair remain un-touched and as found with a soft age patina and good evidence of age and period use. Best described in detail by our photo illustrations, the pair will wipe-off nicely for display going well on the proper uniform jacket or just laid in with period Civil War accoutrements. Buy with confidence! We are pleased to offer a no questions asked three day inspection with return as purchased on direct sales!
