These sets are presented to help differentiate pre- & post- Civil War sets from those produced during the Civil War.  All the sets on this page are 'post-Civil War' and of course would not have been available during the Civil War.  It is important to differentiate the style and composition of these sets from earlier sets to avoid mislabeling them as 'Civil War era'.  They are not Civil  War era, they are post-Civil War.  They may contain a maker's left-over instruments which were created or purchased during the War.  Instruments which evolved during the War were carried over to the post-War era and that is why you see post-War sets with military instruments like bullet forceps, male sounds, etc.
