Hip-hip-huzzah! Hip-hip-huzzah! Hip-hip-huzzah!!! (I think that's how they did it back in the day.) Anyway I'm starting this thread to post pictures of relics and uniforms etc. related to the Civil War quartermasters of both sides and the related commissary/subsistence depts., though as with most things there are a ton more Union pictures than Confederate of course, but here's what I've found so far. I'll start with the C.S. Army quartermasters since I have a lot fewer of them. (As always, for new members of the forum, if you right-click on the larger version of the thumbnail that comes up you can open it in a new tab and it will be full size.)

Here's a frock coat from a captain in the C.S. Army Subsistence Dept. serving in South Carolina:
Here is an assistant commissary of subsistence:
This is the quartermaster of the 18th South Carolina Artillery Battalion:
This is an illustration of the Confederate quartermaster depot at Manassas Junction, here in Union hands.
These are photos of the C.S. Army Quartermaster Dept. manual of regulations published in 1862:
Here is a C.S. quartermaster document written on wallpaper complete with a wallpaper envelope:
And these are reenactors driving Confederate supply wagons though one has what appears to be an Ordnance Dept. insignia on its canopy (I can't vouch for how authentic the wagons are):
