A Civil War reproduction handkerchief based on the original carried by Private John W. Ettinger of Company G, 87th Pennsylvania Infantry.

Made from 100% cotton and measuring 15.5 x 15 inches, this smaller handkerchief is a powerful example of a personal item connected to a documented Civil War soldier and a specific battle.
