I know that this is an old post, but wanted to share a pic of my leggings that have the original paper tag in them from Rosenwasser Bros. I would imagine that it is missing on a lot of leggings.

And a pair I've had in my collection for at least 20 years; they are used but in really nice condition. No markings except the size "3" ink stamping.

Old photos, have to take some new ones when I come across them again.

 

My Gr. Grandfathers leggings.  Infantry Private and bandsman in Company E of the 16th PA in 1898, trained at Camp Alger, PA and the old Civil War battlefield at Chickamauga, GA. He shipped out for Porto Rico from Charleston NC on Transport No. 21, landing at Ponce, PR. His battalion was on the night flanking march which enveloped the Spanish defenders at Coamo, the last battle of the war with Spain.
