CONFEDERATE NAVY TARRED CANVAS DUFFEL BAG DISPLAYED AT THE GREENE MUSEUM.

This great rarity is made and marked “W.S. LLOYD/COLUMBUS/GEORGIA.” This is one of a very few examples of this rare Confederate Naval item found stored in the basement of Bannerman’s Island years ago, at least 1 bag was stenciled CSN, though bag shows no discernible external markings. The makers mark stenciled inside is light but mostly discernible. Lloyd is also known to have made rain covers for kepis. Bag is totally hand sewn with 6 hand sewn whipped eyelets. This bag was probably never issued and could be easily displayed. Of the several examples seen from this Bannerman’s stash this appears to be the most complete. SIZE: 3′ h x 20″ l.

CONDITION: Bag overall is sound and solid though quite stiff where folded at bottom and there are tears and reductions at top edge especially in one 6″ length. 9-28026 (800-1,200) – Lot 1379
