1890s CIVIL WAR GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC CAST IRON SOLDIER FIGURAL PLAQUE

Outstanding and quite rare, ca1890's Grand Army of the Republic / Civil War Veteran's Cast Iron Figural Plaque. This outstanding GAR Plaque measures approx.

8 1/4" and 5 1/8" across the base and is cast in the form of a Civil War Soldier standing atop a rock outcropping and leaning on his rifle. The figural Plaque is mounted on an mid 20th century wooden backing that measures 10" by 8" using its original threaded post and nut (easily removed). The figure of the Civil War Soldier is depicted in profile and appears to be lost in thought - perhaps thinking of his comrades who would not be going home. There is lettering on the rocks that read simply "GAR" and there is a blank area at the center bottom where a name or text could have been engraved. The Casting retains the majority of its gold surface paint and displays very nicely as mounted.

We have owned hundreds and hundreds of different Grand Army of the Republic items over the past 35+ years, we have never encountered this wonderful, Cast Iron Figural Plaque before. This outstanding, ca1890's GAR Cast Iron Figural Plaque is in very good condition.

There are no cracks, chips, breaks, physical damage or repairs of any kind and there is no wear to even the highest spots of the casting. As stated above, the Plaque retains the majority of its original, gold surface paint which exhibits a nice, warm age patina. The wood board on which the plaque is mounted is also well preserved and the Display is a very attractive one. A rare and very attractive, ca1890's Grand Army of the Republic / Civil War Veteran's Cast Iron Figural Plaque and a fantastic addition to any Civil War or GAR collection!!
