Lot Description
[CIVIL WAR]. Framed hardtack with tri-color ribbon, dated 1862-1863.
3 x 3 in. hardtack mounted diagonally (some losses at surface and corners) with 1 1/2 x 1 in. tricolor ribbon (minor fading/discoloration); mounted to ivory silk inscribed "1862-63" (a few splits, top edge threadbare). In near-contemporary, possibly original, shadowbox-style wood frame 8 9/16 x 8 9/16 in. (not examined out of frame).
A tag on the frame notes that the item was "bought from estate sale in Media, PA" and attributes the hardtack to Jesse Darlington of the 124th Pennsylvania Infantry.
