Description: A Wonderful Period Painted U.S. Civil War Bullseye Canteen Identified To "B.F. Pursel Of The 1st N.Y. Dragoons, Co. G" In Nice Untouched Condition. The canteen is finely period painted as shown in the photos. It has a great look to it and identifies him completely. It is painted in two different colors which adds to its desirability. It comes with his history. Benjamin Franklin Pursell enlisted on 8/6/1862 and on 8/19/1862 mustered in to "Co. G, N.Y. 1st Dragoons. He mustered out on 6/30/1865 . His regiment had a fine history. The regiment lost 126 men and 4 officers in battle. They fought the entire war in VA. and were in 94 skirmishes and battles. These included Deserted House VA., Manassas VA, Todd's Tavern VA, Yellow Tavern VA, Cold Harbor VA, Trevillian Station VA, Petersburg, Deep Bottom, Newtown, Shepherdstown, Smithfield, Opequan, Winchester, New Market, Cedar Creek, Five Forks, & Appomattox Court House, VA. When Lee Surrendered. U.S. Civil War Painted Canteens Like This One Are Very Difficult To Fine Especially In This Condition With Most Of The Paint Still Remaining On It. The Way It Is Painted Is Also A Very Big Plus To The Value. This Fine Identified Painted Canteen Is Out Of A Very Old Collection As Are The other Items On This List! Price: $2,395.00 Contact Seller |
