It still has its faded spread eagle design on the side of the drum measuring 16" x 10". The drum's wood shell has a dark varnish with ten hoop eyelets. The ropes date from the 1880s.
Condition: This drum has no maker's mark and is in overall good condition and makes a very nice display piece with a Gettysburg connection.
