inch canister balls. There are seven
balls total with each a different
size.--$95.
Very
nice condition, excavated, 12 pound size
(4.5 inch) Confederate wood drive-in fuse
cannonball recovered in rear of the Federal
position held by Mendenhall's battery at the
site of Breckinridge's charge at the Battle
of Stones River. This ball has a
crisp, clear, Confederate mold seam, wood
fuse adapter, and paper time fuse both
remain intact. It has already been
disarmed, cleaned, coated and is ready for
display.--$295.SOLD*
Complete
unopened packet of five "1864" date

needs a nice packet of artillery time fuzes.
These are 10 second fuzes, which were often
used.--$95.SOLD
Excavated,
single layer of 6 pound smooth bore,
Confederate cannon canister balls.
This is a single layer of canister balls
measuring 3.67 inches outside to outside of
the layer of canister (a 6-pound smooth bore
cannon ball measures 3.67 inches in
diameter). These were recovered on
private property here at Stones River and
were Confederate fired.--$95.SOLD
Excavated,
single layer of canister for a 3 inch bore
size cannon. These were recovered on

projectiles were found in the area.--$95.SOLD
Quite
rare excavated "3-piece single layer" of a
4.5 inch (12 pounder) "Stand Of Grape"
(three 2-inch "Grapeshot" balls in a
triangular configuration).
This was recovered in the early 1980s from
an exploded artillery magazine at Vicksburg,
Miss. The balls have all been cleaned
and coated, and are ready for display.
The above picture shows tens of thousands of
rounds of Confederate Artillery shot,
shells, grape, and canister captured at
Vicksburg.--$89. (I have three sets)SOLD
Very
nice condition, Confederate 12 pound size,
wood drive-in fuse type cannonball that was
recovered over 30 years ago from the King
farm located just in rear of where
Mendenhall had all the Union cannons masked
for the Confederate charge by Breckenridge
on January 2, 1863, here at Stones River.
In this charge, the Confederates ran into 58
cannons that were hidden just out of view,
and in this charge over 1800 Confederates
were killed in just one hour. This is
known to history as Breckenridge's Charge at
Stones River, and according to folklore,
caused Stones River to run red for an hour.
The cannonball is disarmed, cleaned, coated,
and ready for display.--$295.
Nice
condition original Civil War artillery
"Lanyard". It has signs of being
somewhat cruder than most that I'm used to
seeing, and think that it very well could be
Confederate. It shows clear signs of
actual field use.--$375.
Nice
condition, excavated, 3 inch Read
Confederate artillery shell. This
shell was recovered many years ago at
Sulphur Branch Trestle, Alabama. It
would have been fired by Morton's Battery of
Forrest's Artillery at the railroad stockade
there. It has been disarmed, cleaned,
and coated and is ready for display.
It appears to have impacted "rear-end first"
and sheared off a little piece of brass
sabot. The remainder of the brass
sabot is intact.--$495.SOLD*
Artillery
"gimlet" out of a local estate and is very
crude with a wooden handle. It shows
handling and use and could very well be
Confederate.--$95.
A
bit rare to come by - "LONG RANGE" 30 second
Civil War Artillery Time fuze. In 30
seconds you could almost send a Civil War
Projectile into the next time zone !!--$38.
Excavated,
six pound size, top canister plate that was
fired here at Stones River and is divoted
where the balls made an impression on it.
The canister plate is displayed holding
eleven six-pounder size canister balls found
near the plate. This makes a beautiful
display forming a pyramid held by the base
plate. This was recovered about 40
years ago near Highway 96 where the Battle
of Stones River first started. This
would be 100% Confederate and makes a killer
display.--$195.SOLD

"caps" off of 2 cast brass Schenkl
percussion fuzes. These were recovered
years ago here at Stones River, and both are
nicely "J. P. SCHENKL" marked, and are

Excellent
condition unopened packet of Frankford
Arsenal 20 Sec. Artillery Time Fuzes.

clearly marked "Frankford Arsenal - 1864 -
20 Second Fuzes". This packet was in a
museum at one time, and would be an
excellent addition to any Civil War
Artillery Collection.--$115.
Original
non-excavated Civil War Artillery Flame
Concentrator. These were used to
channel the flame and hot gases from being
fired toward the paper time fuzes that were
filled with fulminate. These were
intended to reduce the number of time fuze
shells that the paper time fuze didn't light
and were duds.--$48.
Very
nice condition excavated 12 lb. Bormann
cannon ball recovered years ago from the
battlefield here at Stones River. It
was recovered from what was known for years
as the Homer Gannon farm. I,
personally, recovered many shells from this
farm, and found 8 in one hole one time.
I'm sure that it was battlefield clean-up as
there were 4 different kinds of shells in
the one hole, and all were fired. I
disarmed about 30 shells for this family
that they had picked up farming over the
years. Happily, members of the Gannon
family still come by to visit me (Faye and
Ray) from time to time now. A
mega-church sits on the site now.--$250.SOLD
Excavated
Hotchkiss brass percussion fuse plug from
the Second Day fightlng - Battle of
Nashville, TN. It appears that upon
impact the top of the fuze plug sheared off
when the internal fuze slider hit it.

canister balls. These were both found
on private property near Shiloh.--$35 for

cannon ball.

remain clear as can be. This was
recovered many years ago along the stone

2nd day fighting.--$45.SOLD

nice reproduction US Model 1840 short

The carriage is 80 inches tip to tip in
length, 49 inches wide, and 43 inches high.

will be a beautiful piece to display under a
gazebo in front of an Antebellum home.--$7,500.

delivery for a fee.

of four excavated iron balls ranging in size

condition, virtually non-excavated, quite
rare, Confederate "side-loader" brass time
fused, case shot, 12 pound cannon ball.
This rare Confederate ball was found being

You couldn't ask for a nicer condition,
rare, Confederate side-loader cannon
ball.--$450.SOLD
Large
fragment of a Confederate mortar ball

fantastic Civil War desk display.--$95.
