An ice water pitcher and stand, featuring an inscribed dedication. Accompanying archival materials include notes from a book for sale by Irv Unger describing a poem, "Antietam," read by Surgeon Nathan Mayer at the dedication of a monument in 1894. The poem commemorates the Sixteenth Connecticut Regiment's service at the Battle of Antietam in 1862. Additional notes mention Mayer's novel, *Differences* (1867), described as the first American Jewish novel with literary merit.
