Description

This undated copper Civil War store card cataloged as Fuld 530D-2a features a patriotic die (PE) issued by J.M. Neuburger of Indiana. The Neuburger surname indicates German-Jewish immigrant origins, reflecting the significant presence of German-Jewish merchants in Indiana's commercial landscape during the Civil War era. These merchants operated dry goods stores, clothing shops, and general merchandise businesses that were essential to their communities. J.M. Neuburger's patriotic token expressed loyalty to the Union cause that had provided him and his family with the freedoms and opportunities of American citizenship. The 530D Fuld series designates a specific Indiana locality, and the copper "2a" combination identifies this particular die pairing.
