Description
Unusual Civil War Tin Cup Identified to John F. Carll, 13th Maine Infantry. A tag which accompanies the piece identifies two other identical cups and their locations, one used by a member of the 52d Mass., the other from the 24th Maine. The cup is 3 ½" high, 5" wide at the top with a small "thumbpiece" pierced with a circular hole. The cup retains about 60% of an old gilt painted finish and is decorated on one side with an American flag and on the other with Carll's name. Carll enlisted in the 13th on Nov. 28, 1861 and served with the unit until January 1, 1865 when he transferred to the 30th Maine. The 13th was engaged primarily in Louisiana and Texas.
