PROVIDENCE TOOL CO. SLAVE CUFF ARCHIEVE COLLECTION

ORIGINALLY FROM OUR FAMILY ESTATE IN BATH INDIANA IN 1964 IS THIS COLLECTION OF ARTIFACTS SOLD TO OUR FAMILY AND REPURCHASED TO KEEP IN THE FAMILY. HAS BEEN HANDED DOWN AND HAVE DECIDED TO SELL. THIS IS WHAT I KNOW FROM ORAL HISTORY. WILLIAM FINCH OF BROOKVILLE INDIANA WAS IN THE WAR AS A CANNONEER. HE INLISTED LOCALLY IN INDIANAPOLIS AND WAS DISCHARGED IN 1865. THIS WE FOUND IN THE CIVILWARDATA BASE. A COLLECTION OF IMAGES OF WILLIAM AND HIS WIFE AND WHAT WE THINK MAY BE HIS BABY IMAGE. A SPUR WITH THE ORIGINAL LEATHER AND A FINE UNTOUCHED SET OF CUFFS PRODUCED BY THE PROVIDENCE TOOL COMPANY OF PROVIDENCE RHODE ISLAND. THE UNION CONTRACT MANUFACTURER OF FINE SWORDS FROM 1861-1865. A VERY RARE WELL MARKED SET. SORRY , NO KEY, BUT STILL MOVES EASILY. WHAT THE CUFFS, SPUR, AND PHOTOS ALL MEAN I CAN ONLY WONDER. WHY HE HAD THESE AND A SPUR BEING IN A ARTILLERY UNIT I DONT KNOW. EITHER WAY, A GREAT AND RARE SET.
