Eagle Plate Marked “E.Gaylord”
This eagle plate is in very good condition and its flawless brass face has a
pleasing chocolate brown patina. The crisp stamping of the eagle shows
excellent detail of the eagle, its arrows, and olive branch. The rear
has full lead, both iron hooks and the manufacturer's mark of "E. Gaylord".
The rusty hooks are fragile, and one is thin, but both still complete.
The mark is completely there with 7 of the 8 letters very visible as the
stamping was fairly deep. The rear has one 3/4 inch area of lead that
is slightly bulged out just above the letters "lord" in the mark, but
it is solid with no flaking. I am not sure what would have caused this
other than perhaps a manufacturing flaw. There is no damage whatsoever
to the other side of the plate. The plate has no cracks, breaks, bends
or repairs and is a beautiful marked plate that will display very well.
Approx. 62 mm. $375.00

Eagle Plate
This excavated eagle plate is in excellent condition. Recovered in the
Fredericksburg, VA area, its patina is that of an aged dull brass color.
The tag on the rear indicates that it was dug on September 16, 1973.
The detail of the eagle, arrows and olive branch is simply outstanding and
is one the most defined stampings I have seen in a while. The rear has
a full compliment of lead and both complete hooks which are rusty and nearly
straight up. This plate has no cracks, breaks, bends or repairs and
will make an excellent addition to any collection. Approximately 63
mm. SOLD

attachment loops that are complete with one straight up and one at an angle.
The lead is solid with very minor flaking in one area of the rim.
There is a period bend at the 2 o'clock position of the rim. This

NCO Eagle Breast Plate
This NCO eagle plate is in very good condition and has a very pleasing dirty
light brown patina on its brass face. The detail of the eagle, arrows
and olive branch is quite strong and much better than my pictures actually
show in this case. The face has a very nice excavated appearance and
has no cracks or breaks. The rear has full lead with approximately 1/3
of each of the three iron attachment hooks still remaining. There is a
very slight bend in the plate but most likely caused by period use.
This plate has not been repaired and will display quite well. It was
excavated by Steven Van Weddingen in the area of Manassas, VA in the mid
1990s. Approx. 63 mm. $295.00
