Civil War-Era Soldier’s Eating Set - Inventory Number: CAM 623
Three-piece eating set includes a knife, fork, and spoon—each featuring polished horn handles with brass rivets and silver-plated or steel working ends. Compact and rugged, sets like this were commonly carried by soldiers during the Civil War, often kept in a haversack or rolled in a cloth kit. The horn handles provided durability and a touch of refinement, while the metal fittings ensured functionality in harsh field conditions. This well-matched set likely belonged to a Union or Confederate soldier and reflects the practical necessities of life on campaign during the 1860s.
