Lot 163:
3 Cannonballs & 2 Fragments in Ammo Can
Description
Three solid-cast cannonballs and two fragmented cannonball pieces housed in a military-style green metal ammunition can. The cannonballs exhibit a heavily weathered surface with visible rust, consistent with aged iron. The ammunition can shows signs of wear, including scratches and finish loss, as expected from use and handling. The interior of the can is visible and intact, with no significant structural damage observed. Dimensions of the cannonballs and fragments appear uniform, suggesting they are of similar size, with approximate diameters of 4 inches each, based on available photographic scale reference.
CONDITION: The cannonballs and fragments display significant surface corrosion, discoloration, and patina consistent with age and exposure to the elements. Fragmented pieces reveal internal casting characteristics, and one piece exposes visible pitting and material loss. The ammunition can shows moderate wear, including scratches, scuffs, and paint loss, but remains structurally sound and fully functional with intact hinges and clasps. No additional accessories or documentation are included.
