This is one of the rarest belt plates of the Confederacy. Made of solid cast brass, this plate is referred to as the "Spun Hooks” variety of the Solid Cast CS. It takes its name from having been turned on a lathe after casting when the slag and rough edges at the base of the hook was machined. These belt plates are associated with the Western Theatre Armies, which served primarily in Tennessee, Georgia, and the Carolinas.
This slightly curved plate is in dug condition, as are most of those in existence, and measures 3” x 2”. The upper hook of the dual hooked side is missing, but the plate is in a nice, aged condition.
An essential piece for the Confederate and Civil War collector. [cm][ph:L]
