Expedients For Crossing Streams, Pocket Auger Used To Construct The Frames Of The Blanket Boats (U.S. Civil War) Pint Glass 16oz

A sepia albumen photograph of a pocket auger, a spiral-rod boring tool shown standing on a triangular stand, with a length of grey woollen cloth draped beside it.

Visual Elements & Composition

Warm browns dominate the frame, with the sepia tone pulling the metal cylinder and its spiral rod into the same soft colour as the cloth. Pale grey gives the draped wool its folds and texture, and the cream mount around the print frames the whole subject. The cylinder and the triangular stand form the main shapes, set against a plain ground so the tool reads clearly. Small printed numerals and catalogue marks sit along the mount edge.

Meaning & Symbolism

The auger is a tool of improvisation. In the 1860s, soldiers crossing rivers and streams used such hand tools to bore and fit the frames of blanket boats, lashing wool blankets over a light wooden skeleton to make a float that could carry men and equipment across water. The photograph presents the tool as an object of practical design, documenting the equipment that made field crossings possible during the Civil War.

Shaped for the Mixing Glass

The mixing glass is a tall, clear vessel that is turned in the hand while stirring, so the auger is seen as a slim, upright form, much like the glass itself. Its narrower base lines up with the tool's stand, and the cloth-and-metal contrast of the photograph reads cleanly through the clear walls of the glass.

Clear 16 oz (≈0.47 L) pint glasses made from solid glass with a heavy base for steady placement. Narrower at the bottom for an easier grip and balanced feel — durable, dishwasher-safe, and ideal for both serving and mixing.

These pints are crafted from 100% clear glass that showcases the drink inside — color, clarity and carbonation are all visible. A heavier, solid base reduces tipping and gives the glass a satisfying weight in the hand while the gently tapered body makes holding and carrying more comfortable.

Built to last, the construction resists chipping under normal use and is suitable for busy service environments as well as retail display. One-sided print work reads bright against the clear surface; the overall aesthetic is clean and modern.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and gloss.
  • Capacity: 16 oz (standard U.S. pint / ≈0.47 L).
  • Base: heavy solid glass base reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Shape: narrower bottom for a comfortable grip and easier carrying.
  • Durability: dishwasher-safe and built for regular use.

Use these glasses for draft pours, mixed drinks, iced beverages and more. Their clear walls show off color and bubbles, which makes them a great choice for menus, tasting flights, and bars where presentation matters.

  1. Serving: ideal for beers, sodas, iced teas and cocktails served cold.
  2. Mixing: also works as a simple mixing glass for shaken or stirred cocktails in casual settings.
  3. Display: clean silhouette fits behind bars, on shelves, or on retail racks.

Quick tip: because the base is heavier, these glasses feel stable on trays and counters — handy when serving multiple drinks at once.

These glasses are dishwasher-safe; place them on the top rack and use a regular household cycle. For best longevity, avoid stacking them tightly and steer clear of high-heat commercial wash cycles when possible.

Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap when you want to preserve maximum clarity and avoid sudden temperature shocks. Handle by the body, not just the rim, to reduce the chance of accidental chipping.
