Interesting "Antique Civil War Snare Drum"
I don't know what to make of this drum. But its diameter (17") (height 7") was enough, together with the remaining leathers and rope to get my attention.
It's being offered on eBay by somewhereintime2 ( 7188) as item no. 300395739388 with precious little information.
If any reader can shed some light on this item, please write.
