ORIGINAL CIVIL WAR-ERA EBONY FIFE

$125.00 SOLD

Quantity Available: None

Item Code: 480-281

In very good original condition, this cylindrical fife measures 16.75” long and is made of Ebony. There are 1.25” long German silver ferrules at both ends. Both ferrules have sets of engraved rings at the edges.

Featured on the tapered body are six evenly spaced finger holes. The mouth hole is located at the opposite end. Wear in that location suggests that there was once a “cheater” mounted on this fife.

Instrument is in very good condition with no cracks or splits. The surface is smooth and clean with the exception of the wear around the mouth hole.  [jet] [ph:L]
