  1. Pretty, green, excavated top portion of a J. P. Schenkl percussion fuse.  The markings, including the October 16, 1861, patent date remain clear as can be.  This was recovered many years ago along the stone wall at the Battle of Nashville, Tennessee, 2nd day fighting.--$45.

  2. Three Civil War artillery artifacts that were recovered here at the Battle of Stones River about 40 years ago.  The display consists of a partial "high lip" Confederate Borman fuze, a complete unfired cannon friction primer, and a cast brass Confederate Bormann underplug.--$75. for all, and is displayed in a riker glass case

  3. Excavated cast brass Confederate manufactured underplug to a C.S. 6 lb. Bormann ball, and a nice unfired drop cannon friction primer.  BOTH ITEMS IN A NICE GLASS RIKER CASE.  Items recovered about 40 years ago here at Stones River.--$75.

  4. 12 lb. solid shot cannon ball recovered here at Stones River many years ago.  It is cleaned - coated - and ready for display.--$195.SOLD

  5. Excellent condition, non-excavated, Civil War artillery cannon friction primer.  This primer is 2 1/4 inches long and is for one of the bigger Civil War cannons.--$65.

  6. "DESK DISPLAY" - "tiny canister round" constructed from marble size case shot balls recovered from private property at the Battlefield at Shiloh.  Super neat desk item that you certainly don't see everyday.--$38.

  7. Excavated brass sabot and base from a Confederate Read projectile.  This was recovered on private property here at Stones River.--$45.

  8. Excavated, nose section of a 10 pound Federal Parrott shell recovered many years ago just down the road from the shop on what was known as "Gannon's farm".  The fragment is very unusual in that it still contains the complete pewter time fuse adaptor.  This site is now under a HUGE church.--$79.

  9. Absolutely beautiful condition excavated Selma Arsenal round nose 3-inch Read Bolt.  This projectile was recovered at Vicksburg about 35 years ago, and is one of the few existing examples with a number -"15" stamped into the upper bourlet.  It is a drop, and is a real rarity.  It is cleaned, coated, and ready for display.--$1,250.

  10. Really pretty excavated "J. P. Schenkl" cast brass percussion artillery fuze.  It is beautifully marked "J. P. SCHENKL - OCT. 10, 1861".  It was recovered at the stone wall at the Battle of Nashville, and hasn't even been washed off.--$85.

  11. Original brown paper wrapped packet of five and ten second Civil War Artillery fuses.  These were used by both Union and Confederate Artillery.--$75.

  12. Excavated, "J. P. Shenkl - 1861", cast brass percussion fuse.  This fuse was recovered near the stone wall at the Battle of Nashville, December 1864, 2nd day fighting.  The threads are still good on the fuse and would very likely screw right back into a shell.--$75.

  13. Civil War and pre-Civil War cannon "port fire".  This was used to touch off cannons in the early days when a wick was used to touch off the cannon rather than the Civil War Era brass cannon friction primers.  This one remains in excellent, unused condition.--$75.

  14. Excavated, cast brass, 3 inch size Hotchkiss time fuse.  This fuse was recovered along the 2nd day battle line of the Battle of Nashville, Tennessee.--$38.

  15. Excellent condition, cast brass, short pattern, Confederate cannonball time fuse.  This was recovered at the Battle of Nashville and is literally nice enough to screw back into a ball.--$55.

  16. Original, 1863, green colored wooden packet of Frankford Arsenal Civil War artillery time fuses.  All five fuses remain intact and unused in the packet.  This would be an excellent compliment displayed with your Civil War Artillery shells.--$95.

  17. Group of ten assorted sizes of canister balls in an old tin that were picked up around the turn of the century in a cotton field here at Stones River.--$145.

  18. Excellent condition, unopened packet of "Frankford Arsenal" 1864 date, 5-second artillery fuses.  This packet is pink in color and has all five opening ribbons still in place.  These packets have become very difficult to find in nice condition and unopened.--$110.

  19. REALLY PRETTY excavated drop 3-inch Confederate Read-Broun.  This shell was recovered many years ago near Five Forks, Virginia.  These are only recovered at relatively late war sites.--$650.

  20. Very nice condition, excavated, dropped, Confederate used, imported, long pattern, 3-inch Armstrong projectile.  What make these shells different and stand out are the large copper studs that are imbedded in the shell that engage the rifling upon firing.  This projectile was recovered many years ago near Wilmington, North Carolina, and to this day, remains rusty and dirty just as found.  These are only found in a relatively small area and are quite rare to recover.--$695.

  21. Very nice condition, excavated, dropped, Confederate used, imported, short pattern, 3-inch Armstrong projectile.  What make these shells different and stand out are the large copper studs that are imbedded in the shell that engage the rifling upon firing.  This projectile was recovered many years ago near Wilmington, North Carolina, and to this day, remains rusty and dirty just as found.  These are only found in a relatively small area and are quite rare to recover.--$695.

  22. Mint condition original unissued "red" Federal Artillery hat cord for the "Hardee Style Hat".--$48.

  23. 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.

  24. 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.

  25. 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.

  26. 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.  Neat artillery relic !!--$38.

  27. Three excavated, partial, pewter Bormann time fuses.  These were recovered many years ago here at Stones River.  One is a standard Federal Bormann fuse, and two are rare "tall lip" Confederate Bormann fuses.  All three for--$45.

  28. Excavated Confederate copper Bormann fuse under plug.  This CS under plug was recovered on private property at the Battle of Nashville, Tennessee.--$65.

  29. Early battlefield pick-up, "raised rib", 3.67 inch Shenkl fragment.  This was picked up long ago here at Stones River and almost appears non-dug.--$25.

  30. Set of four excavated iron balls ranging in size from canister ball size and on up to a Naval grape.  Quite nice little artillery display.--$75.

  31. Large fragment of a Confederate mortar ball recovered near Vicksburg, Mississippi, with several different size canister balls displayed within it.  This would make a fantastic Civil War desk display.--$95.

  32. Excellent condition, 6 lb. gun size, CS fired canister ball and one 12 lb., Napoleon gun size, Federal canister ball.  Both these balls were recovered on private property here at the Battle of Stones River, have been cleaned, coated, and are ready for display.--$45. for both.

  33. Excavated set of 3 Naval Grape - The larger balls are roughly 2 inches in diameter.  These were recovered on private property at Vicksburg, MS. many years ago.-- $65. for all three
