    Description

    Union Army Shelter half. Canvas with pewter/tin buttons and brass grommets. Roughly 5' by 5.5' - Combine with one of your fellow soldiers and make one tent. Fun! Really great shape!
    I did classroom demonstrations and re-enactments for about 25 years and kept my gear and uniform in good shape with some wear and tear. It is time to sell it all, so see my other auctions to totally outfit and equip yourself into the 20th Maine (or pretty much any other Union infantry regiment). This also allows you to avoid the abuse heaped on newbies and their straight-from-the-sutler uniform and equipment. Ask if you have any questions. Sorry, due to massive increases in shipping costs, I can no longer combine shipping.
    People asked questions so I added a pic, but as you can pretty much tell, I am not a professional photographer.
    People also asked for condition specifics: It is really nice shape. No holes or weak spots. No torn grommets. Tin or pewter buttons around the edges to attach another tent or tent flaps. I did a few hundred demonstrations for school kids and more than a few re-enactments. This stuff has been to Gettysburg (Not the actual battle or the movie, but you get the idea) so there is some wear and tear, and the brass will always have a hint of brass polish. You might notice that I mention brass polish a lot - If you do re-enactments, you will become very familiar with polishing.
