CONFEDERATE MAPLE DRUM. This drum, 12″ high x 14″ in diameter, is typical of snare drums used by both sides during the Civil War. Drum has repainted red hoops, maple body with numerous defects, not typical of a drum for civilian or Northern military use. This drum has tag opposite vent from the restorer which reads: “Repaired and restored / by / W. H. Reamer / January 1988 / Broomall, PA”. Drum is accompanied by pair of period drumsticks. Mr. Michel, in his notes, states, “Drum was found in southern New Jersey and it came from an old GAR post as a ‘rebel drum’. At one time there was a tag to that effect which has since been lost”.
