March Bully Buy - WAMBAUGH, WHITE, & CO. SHELTER HALF BLANKS!
Dan Wambaugh and Brian White are happy to announce their first Bully Buy in years! During this month’s sale we decided to offer a new product - SHELTER HALF BLANKS - at a limited-time discount price before they are permanently added to our website catalog. A total of three contract styles are available. Each tent blank includes a sewn tent body, buttonholes and grommet holes punched, Manila rope for peg loops and guy line, cotton cord for hand sewing, 23 bone buttons, beeswax, and sewing instructions. These are a great option for those of you who have basic sewing skills, want to save some money, and have a few spare hours to dedicate to hand sewing!
1.) Joseph Lee Shelter Half Blank: A “Type 2a” style consisting of a three-piece cotton drill body with natural bone buttons, hand-sewn corner reinforcements, and black ink stamp. A New York City contractor, Lee produced 90,000 complete tents in July and August 1862, and 32,000 tents in April and May 1863.
2.) Henry S. McComb Shelter Half Blank: A “Type 3a” style consisting of a two-piece cotton drill body with natural bone buttons and red ink stamp. McComb was a Wilmington, Delaware contractor who provided 269,000 tents in April, May, and August 1862, and February 1864, delivered to the New York Depot.
And a new style never before offered…..
3.) John M. Wade Shelter Half Blank: A unique style not included in Gaede’s typography, the Wade shelter half consists of a two-piece cotton drill body with horizontal seam orientation, natural bone buttons, cotton drill button reinforcements, and black ink stamp.
