Description: Hercules Mulligan was an Irish-American tailor and spy during the American Revolutionary War, and a member of the Sons of Liberty. Mulligan's tailoring shop in New York was frequented by high ranking British Soliders. Unaware of Mulligan's connections, the soliders carelessly let slip details of upcoming British movements and plans. Mulligan would go on to relay this information to General Washington. Signage at his shop featured a golden spool and scissors, and later, the claim to be a 'Clothier to Genl. Washington'. This design is a historical interpretation of what that signage may have looked like.
