Civil War Period Coronet Band in front of Frame Building with Empire Style Doors and Window Shutters Photo !
Military Style Uniforms with Shoulder Scales and Plumed Shako Hats !
Shows 10 Horns, 1 Cymbal Player, 1 Base Drum, and 2 Snare drums.
Base Drum Identifies the Group as :
?OYER or (?)OVER CORNET BAND
ORGANIZED
OO,1(3), and 1843 or 1873 ?
I can't be certain, even with an eye loop?
The Best Identifier would be another Historical Book reference with the same building in the background.
