Tiebacks > Pre-Civil War > 802 Soldier™
(ca 1730 ~ 1860)
 The “Soldier Tieback”™ is another pattern with roots in
Colonial America. It, too, has any number of surviving examples, each as different
as its maker.
The name came from one of C. S. Forester’s novels wherein
Captain Horatio Hornblower was pacing the streets of early 19th century London
and noticed the shutter tiebacks “lined like a row of soldiers down
the street”.
I associate this pattern with the southern states – you
see more of them south of the Mason-Dixon than north.
