Pre-Civil War ornate brass eagle head saddle pommel.

3 in. ht. brass eagle head pommel with 1 1/8 in. opening at base (wear consistent with age and use, though most articulated features still visible). Pommel with 4 mounting holes at base for attachment to saddle. Provenance: C.C. Speelman, Niles, OH. (Photocopy of a handout used by Speelman in school presentations about Civil War soldiers included in this lot. Photocopied newspaper clippings, also included, show images of Speelman and his collection on display at a junior high school).

This uncommon piece was likely used by a volunteer officer of means during the war, though this style pommel was popular among militia offers in the pre-war period.
