3.2 INCH Model 1885 Limber

Above: Spanish-American War Era limber for the US 3.2 Inch Gun.  The limber is very similar to American Civil War Limbers but has an iron frame.  The limber’s color is Olive Drab, correct for US Artillery in the Civil War and 1890s. "Chatham Artillery"(later called 118th FA) used the 3.2 Inch Gun and Limber in the1890s.
