- Lot Description
Uniquely shaped folk art carved pipe, likely laurel root. Front of bowl, top panel, features relief carved depiction of two soldiers on duty above "Union," with intricately carved eagles presented to the right and left of the soldiers, each flying above floral/leaf design. With text, "Co. D / 9th / NJV" carved on reverse side of bowl. The lower portion of the bowl features the following lettering, which is carved starting from bowl's left side, through center, to right side: "Bombardment of Fort Macon," with relief carved depiction of soldier kneeling, aiming his rifle, at left below "Bombardment" and American eagle at right below "Macon." "New Bern" is carved below the kneeling soldier, and "Roanoke" is carved below the eagle. An arch-shaped structure extends from the bowl, with what appears to be a cannon-like form extending from the structure, with cannon balls carved in relief below the form and the Masonic compass and square carved above. The name "Burnside" is carved along the edge of the arch-shaped structure. An intricate geometric design covers the underside of the pipe. Rim of bowl with floral/leaf design. Overall width approx. 3.25 in.; bowl height 3.5 in., dia. 1.75 in.
Also called the "Jersey Muskrats," the 9th New Jersey Infantry served from October 1861 through July 1865. It took part in the Burnside Expedition into North Carolina, remaining there with the occupation force until early 1864 when the first enlistment was up. In January 1864, the regiment went back to New Jersey where more than half of the members reenlisted. It then moved into Virginia leading to the Siege of Petersburg. The 9th was subsequently transferred back to North Carolina for garrison duty for the remainder of the war.
Provenance: Property of N. Flayderman & Co.Some light surface abrasions, areas of slight loss, especially on some of the relief carved lettering and details. Few slight chips. Chip in cannon-like form extending from pipe.Condition
