1. This is as rare as it gets in Civil War collecting !!  ORIGINAL 12 pound bronze Mountain Howitzer on a fine quality "Cannons Ltd." carriage with complete implements.  This is a "Cyrus Alger" 12 # bronze tube and is marked "C.A. & Co. - Boston" on the right trunnion, and is dated "1861" on the left trunnion.  The muzzle has "180" on the top face, and "T.J.R." on the bottom face.  "U.S." is nicely stamped on the top of the tube between the trunnions, and on the cascabel is the number "224".  The tube has a beautiful - uncleaned - aged pea green patina - no shiny brass here !!  The vent hole is open and we are supplying 20 friction primers with the cannon, SO look out neighbors !!!  A finer ORIGINAL and "1861" dated Civil War cannon you just will not see.  You can pick it up here, or we can help in arranging delivery.  A BARGAIN AT--$58,500.SOLD

2. BIG 20 inch section of Heartwood Pine containing a 12 lber size cannister ball, and was recovered at Chickamauga around 1900.  This is a SUPER NICE MUSEUM QUALITY piece and could almost be described as a small "War Log".  This was one of Robert's favorite pieces.--$450.SOLD

3. 3" size, Hotchkiss case shot nose section.  This projectile was recovered from a lawn near Granny White Pike - 2nd days fighting at the Battle of Nashville, TN.  It has been disarmed, cleaned, and coated, and is ready for display.--$125.SOLD

7. Excellent display of a 1/2 sectioned 6 pound size Bormann case shot ball.  This ball was recovered on private property at Shiloh and clearly shows the Bormann fuse, the underplug, the case shot balls and tar matrix, and the chamber for the black powder.  It has been cleaned and coated and is ready for permanent display.--$195.

8. Quite rare 10 # Parrott projectile with the late Civil War  "Rabbeted Brass Band" type sabot.  This projectile was recovered just off Robertson Academy Drive at the Battle of Nashville about 30 years ago.  I dug a twin to this one in the lawn next door to where this one was found.  It is a quite rare projectile and is complete with pewter fuze intact and brass sabot 100 % intact.  I have disarmed the shell and coated it - so it is ready for display.  I only know of about half a dozen of these that have been recovered at Nashville.  Most of this type shell have been recovered along the Johnston's River Line in GA.--$395.SOLD
