Gentlemen,
I am in search of information regarding the production/retail of goods from the firm Horstmann Bros. of Philadelphia.
Especially interested in the life of the company (date company began, date the company ended), suppliers, contractors...etc.
In doing research on the Virginia Military Institute, we have come across several references to this company from which the Institute ordered belt plates, hat brass and a variety of other items.
It also appears that VMI had two Institute flags made by Horstmann Bros. including the one carried on May 15th, 1864 at the Battle of New Market.
I am also in search of other flags produced by Horstmann Bros., especially State/Regimental/Unit Flags.
Thanks,
Paul B.
