Description

Metal Tag With Vermont Infantryman's Stamping. This is an unusual metal rectangle measuring about 1.75" x 2" on which is stamped in small letters "JOHN. AYERS/ Co. H 2.nd. VT/ VOLUNTEERS./ WAR. OF. 1861. 2&3." Piece appears to be brass or copper with deep patina indicative of something excavated but shows no corrosion. The top has a small, neatly drilled hole and the bottom corners are clipped. On the opposite side is a larger, stamped number "50" suggesting the item was originally intended for a use other than an identification token. Ayers joined the Second Vermont in June 1861, and served until August 1865. He was wounded in the Wilderness in 1864. Accompanied by brief service profile.
