Description:This was a pretty decent 6 pounder ball cut in half to show the interior of the shell. While I hate that a good relic is cut I do appreciate what can be seen and learned from this. One one not cut you are lucky to be able to tell for sure if the interior is polygonal and it is exceptionally hard to tell the shape the pieces would break into. This size comes in diamond and pentagonal pieces with this particular one being the latter. The prior owner took a sharpie and outlined where the pieces met to highlight them. If desired I can easily remove that. You can also see the somewhat offset sand core positioning.

We had a few of these back when Mike got his big mobile collection and they went very fast. This is one from that collection that we got back in a collection purchase. So we aren't sure when we will get another so if you are looking for one this is a good one.

This shell has been cleaned and coated.
