Description:This is a really rare and good condition relic that we've had very few of. While it is technically not artillery I've put it in the artillery section based on the belief that if the soldier has a Nolan Ryan arm like a cannon it is close enough.

There are three sizes of the Ketchum grenade listed in order of rarity: 1-lber, 5-lber and 3-lber. According the Dickey and George 1993 edition the 1-lber is rarity 9 and only found at Petersburg and Vicksburg.

The top hole in the body still has the end of the wood rod that the fins were attached to. The bottom end still has the pewter grommet that the plunger slid into. All in all the projectile is in very good condition and one you are sure to like!
