CIVIL WAR GRAPE & CANNISTER 6 & 12 POUNDER


Just dug from a hillside beside the Yazoo River, where Confederate forces were holding Porter's flotilla of ironclads at bay. These grape and canister shot range from approximately 1 1/4" to approximately 2 1/8" diameter and were probably fired from 6 and 12 pounder smoothbores.


While they last they can be bought for $12.00 (large) and $6.00 (small) (plus shipping if required). Come by the store, or to order by mail call me at 601-618-7478, or email 717antiques@gmail.com.
